Energy Budget and Core-Envelope Motion in Common Envelope Evolution

Luke Chamandy, Yisheng Tu, Eric G. Blackman +4

We analyze a 3D hydrodynamic simulation of common envelope evolution to understand how energy is transferred between various forms and whether theory and simulation are mutually co…

New Insights on Galactic Dynamos

Luke Chamandy, Anvar Shukurov, A. Russ Taylor

We argue that pitch angles of the azimuthally averaged large-scale or mean magnetic fields in nearby spiral galaxies inferred from observations can tentatively be explained with si…

Accretion in Common Envelope Evolution

Luke Chamandy, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +6

Common envelope evolution (CEE) occurs in some binary systems involving asymptotic giant branch (AGB) or red giant branch (RGB) stars, and understanding this process is crucial for…

Evolution of galactic magnetic fields

Luiz Felippe S. Rodrigues, Luke Chamandy, Anvar Shukurov +2

We study the cosmic evolution of the magnetic fields of a large sample of spiral galaxies in a cosmologically representative volume by employing a semi-analytic galaxy formation mo…

Accretion in common envelope evolution

Luke Chamandy, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +6

Common envelope evolution (CEE) is presently a poorly understood, yet critical, process in binary stellar evolution. Characterizing the full 3D dynamics of CEE is difficult in part…

Non-linear Galactic Dynamos and the Magnetic Rädler Effect

Luke Chamandy, Nishant K. Singh

We show that the magnetic analogue of the Rädler effect of mean-field dynamo theory leads to a non-linear backreaction that quenches a large-scale galactic dynamo, and can result i…
