Abstract
High-resolution observations reveal that the outflows of evolved low- and intermediate-mass stars harbour complex morphological structures that are linked to the presence of one or multiple companions. Hydrodynamical simulations provide a way to study the impact of a companion on the shaping of the AGB outflow. Using smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations of a mass losing AGB star with a binary companion, we study the impact of including HI atomic line cooling on the flow morphology and on the properties of accretion disks that form around the companion. We perform high-resolution 3D SPH simulations of the interaction of a solar-mass companion with the outflow of an AGB star using different wind velocities and eccentricities. We compare the models properties computed with and without the inclusion of HI cooling. The inclusion of HI cooling produces a large decrease in the temperature up to one order of magnitude in the region closely surrounding the companion star. As a consequence, morphological irregularities and relatively energetic outflows that were obtained without HI cooling no longer appear. In case of an eccentric orbit and low wind velocity, the morphologies are still highly asymmetric, but the same structures recur at every orbital period, making the morphology more regular. Flared accretion disks with a (sub)-Keplerian velocity profile form around the companion in all models, provided the accretion radius is small enough. The disks have radial sizes ranging from about 0.4 to 0.9 au. For the considered wind velocities, mass accretion onto the companion is up to 2 times higher than predicted by the BHL rate, and ranges between 0.04-0.21 times the AGB wind mass loss rate. The lower the wind velocity at the location of the companion, the larger and the more massive the disk, and the higher the mass accretion efficiency.
