MHD Disk Winds in PNe and pPNe
Adam Frank
Winds from accretion disks have been proposed as the driving source for precessing jets and extreme bipolar morphologies in Planetary Nebulae (PNe) and proto-PNe (pPNe). Here we ap…

Modulation of the X-ray Fluxes by the AEI
P. Varnière, M. Muno, M. Tagger +1
The Accretion-Ejection Instability (AEI) has been proposed to explain the low frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) observed in low-mass X-Ray Binaries. Its frequency, typical…

The Last Hurrah: PPN Formation by a Magnetic Explosion
Sean Matt, Adam Frank, Eric Blackman
We discuss a mechanism by which a giant star can expel its envelope in an outburst, leaving its core exposed. The outburst is powered by rotational kinetic energy of the core, tran…
