Evolutionary Channels for the Formation of Double Neutron Stars
Jeff J. Andrews, Will M. Farr, Vicky Kalogera +1
We analyze binary population models of double-neutron stars and compare results to the accurately measured orbital periods and eccentricities of the eight known such systems in our…
Introducing CAFein, a New Computational Tool for Stellar Pulsations and Dynamic Tides
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +2
Here we present CAFein, a new computational tool for investigating radiative dissipation of dynamic tides in close binaries and of non-adiabatic, non-radial stellar oscillations in…
Interacting Binaries with Eccentric Orbits. III. Orbital Evolution due to Direct Impact and Self-Accretion
J. F. Sepinsky, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +1
The rapid circularization and synchronization of the stellar components in an eccentric binary system at the onset of Roche lobe overflow (RLO) is a fundamental assumption common t…
Energy Dissipation through Quasi-Static Tides in White Dwarf Binaries
B. Willems, C. J. Deloye, V. Kalogera
We study tidal interactions in white dwarf binaries in the limiting case of quasi-static tides. The formalism is valid for arbitrary orbital eccentricities and therefore applicable…
Interacting Binaries with Eccentric Orbits II. Secular Orbital Evolution Due To Non-Conservative Mass Transfer
J. F. Sepinsky, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +1
We investigate the secular evolution of the orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity due to mass transfer in eccentric binaries, allowing for both mass and angular momentum loss fr…
Interacting Binaries with Eccentric Orbits. Secular Orbital Evolution Due To Conservative Mass Transfer
J. F. Sepinsky, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +1
We investigate the secular evolution of the orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity due to mass transfer in eccentric binaries, assuming conservation of total system mass and orbi…
