The Interaction of Planets and Brown Dwarfs with AGB Stellar Winds
Hyosun Kim, Ronald E. Taam
Beyond the main sequence solar type stars undergo extensive mass loss, providing an environment where planet and brown dwarf companions interact with the surrounding material. To e…
The effect of coronal radiation on a residual inner disk in the low/hard spectral state of black hole X-ray binary systems
B. F. Liu, C. Done, Ronald E. Taam
Thermal conduction between a cool accretion disk and a hot inner corona can result in either evaporation of the disk or condensation of the hot corona. At low mass accretion rates,…
Evidence for gamma-ray emission from the low-mass X-ray binary system FIRST J102347.6+003841
P. H. Thomas Tam, Chung-Yue Hui, Regina H. H. Huang +6
The low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system FIRST J102347.6+003841 hosts a newly born millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR J1023+0038 that was revealed as the first and only known rotation-pow…
The Impact of Type Ia Supernova Ejecta on Binary Companions
P. M. Ricker, K. -C. Pan, R. E. Taam
We present adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between Type Ia supernovae and their companion stars within the context of the single-degene…
Masses and envelope binding energies of primary stars at the onset of a common envelope
Marc van der Sluys, Michael Politano, Ronald E. Taam
We present basic properties of primary stars that initiate a common envelope (CE) in a binary, while on the giant branch. We use the population-synthesis code described in Politano…
On the Transition from Accretion Powered to Rotation Powered Millisecond Pulsars
J. Takata, K. S. Cheng, R. E. Taam
The heating associated with the deposition of -rays in an accretion disk is proposed as a mechanism to facilitate the transformation of a low mass X-ray binary to the radio mill…
