Revisiting atmospheric Roche lobe overflow in symbiotic binaries

Tan Liu, Natalia Ivanova, Philipp Podsiadlowski +5

Classical binary evolution models predict dynamically unstable mass transfer in symbiotic stars with high mass ratios, leading to a common envelope. However, many observed S-type s…

New Cataclysmic Variables and other Exotic Binaries in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae

L. E. Rivera Sandoval, M. van den Berg, C. O. Heinke +8

We present 22 new (+3 confirmed) cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the non core-collapsed globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc). The total number of CVs in the cluster is now 43, the l…

Mass Transfer from Giant Donors

K. Pavlovskii, N. Ivanova

The stability of mass transfer in binaries with convective giant donors remains an open question in modern astrophysics. There is a significant discrepancy between what the existin…

On the role of recombination in common-envelope ejections

N. Ivanova, S. Justham, Ph. Podsiadlowski

The energy budget in common-envelope events (CEEs) is not well understood, with substantial uncertainty even over to what extent the recombination energy stored in ionised hydrogen…

Metallicity Effect on LMXB Formation in Globular Clusters

D. -W. Kim, G. Fabbiano, N. Ivanova +4

We present comprehensive observational results of the metallicity effect on the fraction of globular clusters (GC) that contain low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB), by utilizing all ava…

Can We Trust Models for Adiabatic Mass Loss?

T. E. Woods, N. Ivanova

In interacting binaries, comparison of a donor star's radial response to mass loss with the response of its Roche radius determines whether mass loss persists and, if so, determine…
