The Landscape of Unstable Mass Transfer in Interacting Binaries and Its Imprint on the Population of Luminous Red Novae
Angela A. G. Twum, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Morgan MacLeod +4
A common-envelope (CE) phase occurs when a star engulfs its companion and is widely considered the primary channel for producing Luminous Red Novae (LRNe). In this study, we combin…
Black Hole Survival Guide: Searching for Stars in the Galactic Center That Endure Partial Tidal Disruption
Rewa Clark Bush, Samantha C. Wu, Rosa Wallace Everson +3
Once per 10,000-100,000 years, an unlucky star may experience a close encounter with a supermassive black hole (SMBH), partially or fully tearing apart the star in an exceedingly b…
Population synthesis of Thorne-Żytkow objects: Rejuvenated donors and unexplored progenitors in the common envelope formation channel
K. Nathaniel, A. Vigna-Gómez, A. Grichener +3
Context. Common envelope evolution of a massive star and a neutron star companion has two possible outcomes: formation of a short-period binary (a potential gravitational wave sour…
The Evolution of Binaries Embedded Within Common Envelopes
Alejandra Rosselli-Calderon, Ricardo Yarza, Ariadna Murguia-Berthier +5
Triple stellar systems allow us to study stellar processes that cannot be attained in binary stars. The evolutionary phases in which the stellar members undergo mass exchanges can…
A revised energy formalism for common-envelope evolution: repercussions for planetary engulfment and the formation of neutron star binaries
Ricardo Yarza, Rosa Wallace Everson, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
Common-envelope evolution is a stage in binary system evolution in which a giant star engulfs a companion. The standard energy formalism is an analytical framework to estimate the…
Common Envelope Wind Tunnel: Range of Applicability and Self-Similarity in Realistic Stellar Envelopes
Rosa Wallace Everson, Morgan MacLeod, Soumi De +2
Common envelope evolution, the key orbital tightening phase of the traditional formation channel for close binaries, is a multistage process that presents many challenges to the es…
