Common Envelope Wind Tunnel: The Effects of Binary Mass Ratio and Implications for the Accretion-Driven Growth of LIGO Binary Black Holes
Soumi De, Morgan MacLeod, Rosa Wallace Everson +3
We present three-dimensional local hydrodynamic simulations of flows around objects embedded within stellar envelopes using a "wind tunnel" formalism. Our simulations model the com…
The Evolution of Binaries in a Gaseous Medium: Three-Dimensional Simulations of Binary Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton Accretion
Andrea Antoni, Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
Binary stars are common. While only those with small separations may exchange gas with one another, even the widest binaries interact with their gaseous surroundings. Drag forces a…
Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton Accretion onto Star Clusters
Nicholas Kaaz, Andrea Antoni, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
An isolated star moving supersonically through a uniform gas accretes material from its gravitationally-induced wake. The rate of accretion is set by the accretion radius of the st…
