How can a remnant star be produced when the combined mass exceeds the Chandrasakar limit?
It seems from the wiki that there is no actual collision. This seems to be something between a nova and a supernova.

Or, possibly, rotation allows the remnant to not immediately collapse (the Chandrasekar limit is for a nonrotating body, although I understand the increase for a rapidly rotating star is only a few percent.)
