3D hydrodynamic simulations of white dwarf–main-sequence star collisions – I. Head-on collisions

Recently inaugurated telescopes, such as the MeerKAT radio telescope and the upcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, will be able to detect millions of transient events in the night sky. Stellar collisions between white dwarfs (WDs) and main-sequence (MS) stars may be detectable...
