Original abstract
Context: Accretion of He-rich matter onto a low mass carbon-oxygen white dwarf in a binary system with a He-rich donor may lead to an explosive event of Supernova Ia proportion, though with low peak luminosity and peculiar nucleosynthesis. Recently such a statement has been questioned, suggesting that, if the effects of rotation are accounted for in the evolution of the accretor, the latter does not explode, but it becomes a white dwarf with a massive He-buffer. Aims: We investigate the expected evolution of the currently detached binary CD-30°11223 harboring a 0.74 Msun carbon-oxygen white dwarf and a 0.47 Msun donor with a He-burning core and a very thin H-envelope (Delta M_H=6e-4 Msun). Methods: We use stellar the evolution code FuNS to compute the evolution of CD-30°11223. With respect to our earlier study of the system PTF J2238+743015.1, we include also the transport of angular momentum due to magnetic instabilities in the accretor interiors (``magnetic model''). Results: During the H-accretion phase, the effects of rotation in the accretor are negligible. In the ``magnetic model'', the angular momentum deposited by the accreted matter is very efficiently redistributed along the whole WD due to magnetic instabilities, so that the angular velocity of the accreted layers remains very low. During the He-accretion phase, the accretor experiences two very strong He-flashes which result in the ejection from the binary system of a large part of the matter previously accreted. The system ends its life as a carbon-oxygen core capped by a massive He/C/O-envelope (Delta M_{env} ~ 0.194 Msun) and an extremely low-mass companion, remnant of the donor. Conclusions: The system CD-30°11223 cannot be regarded as the potential progenitor of Supernova Ia. Such a conclusion applies also to all detached binary systems having similar masses of components and orbital periods.
