First double red giant Algol system with active mass transfer
Mikhail Kovalev, Hailiang Chen, Sufen Guo +7
Double red giant stars are very important for studies of the stability of mass transfer, common-envelope evolution, and the formation of double white dwarfs with short orbital peri…
Formation of Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Enhanced Angular Momentum Loss
Ziqi Zhao, Zhenwei Li, Zhengwei Liu +6
Extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs) are helium (He) WDs with masses below , mainly formed through binary interaction. ELM WD binaries typically are forme…
Influence of mass-transfer stability on the formation of post-common-envelope binaries
Yanxu Shi, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +9
Post-common-envelope binaries are the natural laboratories for constraining the physics of common envelope evolution, which is one of the most uncertain phases in binary stellar ev…
Mass-Orbital Period Distribution of Massive White Dwarfs Formed Through Stable Mass Transfer
Rizhong Zheng, Hongwei Ge, Christopher A Tout +10
White dwarfs (WDs) in binaries can form through either the stable mass-transfer process or common envelope evolution (CEE). Compared to CEE, the stable mass-transfer process can le…
Ultra-compact X-ray Binaries: A Review
Bo Wang, Dongdong Liu, Yunlang Guo +3
Ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a subclass of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) characterized by ultra-short orbital periods, typically less than min. They consist…
Adiabatic Mass Loss In Binary Stars. VI. Massive Helium Binary Stars
Lifu Zhang, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +6
The stability of binary mass transfer is a critical problem for binary evolution. We systematically calculate the adiabatic mass-loss model for naked helium stars with masses rangi…
