High-spatial-resolution simulations of Be star disks in binary systems: I. Structure and kinematics of coplanar disks
A. C. Rubio, A. C. Carciofi, J. E. Bjorkman +5
Binarity in massive stars has proven to be an important aspect in the their evolution. For Be stars, it might be the cause of their spin up, and thus part of the mechanism behind t…

Decretion disc evolution and neutron star accretion in short-period eccentric Be/X-ray binaries
R. G. Rast, C. E. Jones, M. W. Suffak +1
We examine Be star discs in highly eccentric Be/X-ray systems. We use a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code to model the structure of the Be star disc and…

Investigating Kozai-Lidov Oscillations and Disc Tearing in Be Star Discs
M. W. Suffak, C. E. Jones, A. C. Carciofi
Recent simulations of Be stars in misaligned binary systems have revealed that misalignment between the disc and binary orbit can cause the disc to undergo Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscilla…
