We study the effect of stellar rotation on the carbon ignition in acarbon-oxygen white dwarf accreting CO-rich matter. Including the effect of thecentrifugal force of rotation, we have calculated evolutionary models up to thecarbon ignition for various accretion rates. The rotation velocity at thestellar surface is set to be the Keplerian velocity. The angular velocity inthe stellar interior has been determined by taking into account the transportof angular momentum due to turbulent viscosity. We have found that anoff-center carbon ignition occurs even when the effect of stellar rotation isincluded if the accretion rate is sufficiently high; the critical accretionrate for the off-center ignition is hardly changed by the effect of rotation.Rotation, however, delays the ignition;i.e., the mass coordinate of theignition layer and the total mass at the ignition are larger than those for thecorresponding no-rotating model. The result supports our previous conclusionthat a double-white dwarf merger would not be a progenitor of a SN Ia.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures; To appear in the Astrophysical Journal, 1  November 2004, V615 issu
