Common Envelope Shaping of Planetary Nebulae. IV. From Proto-planetary to Planetary Nebula
Guillermo García-Segura, Ronald E. Taam, Paul M. Ricker
We present 2D hydrodynamical simulations of the transition of a proto-planetary nebula to a planetary nebula for central stars in binary systems that have undergone a common envelo…
Common Envelope Shaping of Planetary Nebulae. III. The Launching of Jets in Proto-Planetary Nebulae
Guillermo Garcia-Segura, Ronald E. Taam, Paul M. Ricker
We compute successfully the launching of two magnetic winds from two circumbinary disks formed after a common envelope event. The launching is produced by the increase of magnetic…
The role of mass transfer and common envelope evolution in the formation of merging binary black holes
Pablo Marchant, Kaliroë M. W. Pappas, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +4
As the number of observed merging binary black holes (BHs) grows, accurate models are required to disentangle multiple formation channels. In models with isolated binaries, importa…
Wind accretion in Cygnus X-1
Emmi Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, E. Qiao +1
Context: Cygnus X-1 is a black hole X-ray binary system in which the black hole captures and accretes gas from the strong stellar wind emitted by its supergiant O9.7 companion star…
Common Envelope Shaping of Planetary Nebulae. II. Magnetic Solutions and Self-Collimated Outflows
Guillermo García-Segura, Ronald E. Taam, Paul M. Ricker
Magnetic fields of order gauss that are present in the envelopes of red giant stars are ejected in common envelope scenarios. These fields could be responsible for the…
The Complete Evolution of a Neutron-Star Binary through a Common Envelope Phase Using 1D Hydrodynamic Simulations
Tassos Fragos, Jeff J. Andrews, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +4
Over forty years of research suggests that the common envelope phase, in which an evolved star engulfs its companion upon expansion, is the critical evolutionary stage forming shor…
