Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
Episodic mass ejections from common-envelope objects
Matthew Clayton, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Natasha Ivanova +1
After the initial fast spiral-in phase experienced by a common-envelope binary, the system may enter a slow, self-regulated phase, possibly lasting 100s of years, in which all the…
Explosive Common-Envelope Ejection: Implications for Gamma-Ray Bursts and Low-Mass Black-Hole Binaries
Philipp Podsiadlowski, Natasha Ivanova, Stephen Justham +1
We present a new mechanism for the ejection of a common envelope in a massive binary, where the energy source is nuclear energy rather than orbital energy. This can occur during th…
Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Star Clusters
F. A. Rasio, H. Baumgardt, A. Corongiu +10
This article was co-authored by all invited speakers at the Joint Discussion on `Neutron Stars and Black Holes in Star Clusters,' which took place during the IAU General Assembly i…
The Origin of Subdwarf B Star (I): the Formation Channels
Zhanwen Han, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Pierre L. F. Maxted +2
Subdwarf B (sdB) stars (and related sdO/sdOB stars) are believed to be helium core-burning objects with very thin hydrogen-rich envelopes. In recent years it has become increasingl…
