Comparative Study of Two Luminous Red Novae I. Progenitor Modeling and Dust Formation
M. Wavasseur, N. Blagorodnova, M. A. Gómez-Muñoz +1
Luminous red novae are astrophysical transients associated with unstable mass transfer in interacting binaries and are commonly interpreted as outcomes of common-envelope evolution…
Ongoing and Post-Mass-Transfer Binaries: A Living Catalog and Unified Review of Binary Mass Transfer Products
Lieke A. C. van Son, Natsuko Yamaguchi, Pranav Nagarajan +6
Mass transfer is arguably the most defining interaction in binary stellar systems, yet many aspects of its physics remain poorly understood, from stability to endpoints and observa…
One's loss is (not) another's gain: Isotropic re-emission destabilizes mass transfer from radiative donor stars
K. D. Temmink, S. Justham, O. R. Pols
Non-conservative mass transfer plays a central role in close-binary evolution, yet its effects on mass-transfer stability are uncertain. One widely adopted prescription, isotropic…
A Not-So-Compact Companion: Massive, Oversize White Dwarf in a Post-Common Envelope Eclipsing Binary
Erin M. Motherway, Evan Linck, Robert D. Mathieu +5
We provide a detailed characterization of 2M07515777+1807352, a post-common envelope eclipsing binary system with a 10.3 d, nearly, but not quite, circular orbit (e = 0.02). This s…
Blue Stragglers and Friends: Initial Evolutionary Pathways in Close Low-Mass Binaries: Literature Review
Robert D. Mathieu, Onno R. Pols
The scope of this literature review is observations of the products of first-stage evolution for binaries having components with M < 2 . A taxonomy for these products comp…
Good things come to those who wait: Watching donor stars evolve towards a mass-transfer instability
Karel D. Temmink, Onno R. Pols, Stephen Justham +1
Unstable mass transfer in binary systems can lead to transients such as luminous red novae (LRNe). Observations of such transients are valuable for understanding and testing models…
