Variable jets at the termination of the common envelope evolution

Noam Soker

I propose that at the termination of the common envelope evolution (CEE) the companion to the giant star might launch jets that have variable directions and intensities, hence the…

The common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) r-process scenario

Aldana Grichener, Noam Soker

We study r-process feasibility inside jets launched by a cold neutron star (NS) spiralling-in inside the core of a giant star, and find that such common envelope jets supernova eve…

The formation of `columns crowns' by jets interacting with a circumstellar dense shell

Muhammad Akashi, Noam Soker

We conduct three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of two opposite jets that interact with a spherical slow wind that includes a denser shell embedded within it, and obtain a…

Counteracting Tidal Circularization with the Grazing Envelope Evolution

Amit Kashi, Noam Soker

We show that substantially enhanced mass loss at periastron passages, as is expected in the grazing envelope evolution (GEE), can compensate for the circularization effect of the t…

Oxygen-neon rich merger during common envelope evolution

Pere Canals, Santiago Torres, Noam Soker

We conduct a population synthesis study of the common envelope evolution (CEE) of a white dwarf (WD) and an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star and find that the potential number of…

The limited role of recombination energy in common envelope removal

Aldana Grichener, Efrat Sabach, Noam Soker

We calculate the outward energy transport time by convection and photon diffusion in an inflated common envelope and find this time to be shorter than the envelope expansion time.…

Radiating the hydrogen recombination energy during common envelope evolution

Noam Soker, Aldana Grichener, Efrat Sabach

By using the stellar evolution code MESA we show that most of the hydrogen recombination energy that is released as the envelope expands during a regular common envelope evolution…

Possible white dwarf progenitors of type Ia supernovae

Ealeal Bear, Noam Soker

We examine catalogs of white dwarfs (WDs) and find that there are sufficient number of massive WDs, M_WD > 1.35Mo, that might potentially explode as type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in…

The orientation of Eta Carinae and the powering mechanism of intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs)

Amit Kashi, Noam Soker

Contrary to recent claims, we argue that the orientation of the massive binary system Eta Carinae is such that the secondary star is closer to us at periastron passage, and it is o…

Orbital radius during the grazing envelope evolution

Abedallah Abu-Backer, Avishai Gilkis, Noam Soker

We use the binary module of the MESA code to study the evolution of an evolved binary system where we assume that a main sequence companion removes the outskirts of the envelope of…
