How negative feedback and the ambient environment limit the influence of recombination in common envelope evolution
Luke Chamandy, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Eric G. Blackman +5
We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study recombination and ionization during the common envelope (CE) phase of binary evolution, and develop techniques to track the ionic…
NGC 6302: The Tempestuous Life of a Butterfly
Bruce Balick, Lars Borchert, Joel H. Kastner +4
NGC 6302 (The ''Butterfly Nebula'') is an extremely energetic bipolar nebula whose central star is among the most massive, hottest, and presumably rapidly evolving of all central s…
The messy death of a multiple star system and the resulting planetary nebula as observed by JWST
Orsola De Marco, Muhammad Akashi, Stavros Akras +66
Planetary nebulae (PNe), the ejected envelopes of red giant stars, provide us with a history of the last, mass-losing phases of 90 percent of stars initially more massive than the…
Excitation & Excavation of the Claws of the Southern Crab
Bruce Balick, Ashley Swegel, Adam Frank
We show that the Southern Crab (aka Hen2-104) presents an auspicious opportunity to study the form and speed of the invisible winds that excavate and shock the lobes of various typ…
The Case for Technosignatures: Why They May Be Abundant, Long-lived, Highly Detectable, and Unambiguous
Jason T. Wright, Jacob Haqq-Misra, Adam Frank +3
The intuition suggested by the Drake equation implies that technology should be less prevalent than biology in the galaxy. However, it has been appreciated for decades in the SETI…
Detectability of Chlorofluorocarbons in the Atmospheres of Habitable M-dwarf Planets
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kopparapu, Thomas J. Fauchez +3
The presence of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in Earth's atmosphere is a direct result of technology. Ozone-depleting CFCs have been banned by most countries, but some CFCs have persi…
