NGC 300 OT2008-1 As a Scaled-Down Version of the Eta Carinae Great Eruption

Amit Kashi, Adam Frankowski, Noam Soker

We propose that the intermediate luminosity optical transient NGC 300 OT2008-1 was powered by a mass transfer episode from an extreme Asymptotic Giant Branch star to a Main Sequenc…

Radiation pressure and pulsation effects on the Roche lobe

T. Dermine, A. Jorissen, L. Siess +1

Several observational pieces of evidence indicate that specific evolutionary channels which involve Roche lobe overflow are not correctly accounted for by the classical Roche model…

Comparing Symbiotic Nebulae and Planetary Nebulae Luminosity Functions

Adam Frankowski, Noam Soker

We compare the observed symbiotic nebulae (SyN) luminosity function (SyNLF) in the [O III] 5007A line to the planetary nebulae (PN) luminosity function (PNLF) and find that the int…

Very Late Thermal Pulses Influenced by Accretion in Planetary Nebulae

Adam Frankowski, Noam Soker

We consider the possibility that a mass of ~10^{-5}-10^{-3} Msun flows back from the dense shell of planetary nebulae and is accreted by the central star during the planetary nebul…

Spectroscopic binaries among Hipparcos M giants III. The eccentricity-period diagram and mass-transfer signatures

A. Jorissen, A. Frankowski, B. Famaey +1

This paper is the third one in a series devoted to studying the properties of binaries involving M giants. We use a new set of orbits to construct the first (e-logP) diagram of an…

Spectroscopic binaries among Hipparcos M giants II. Binary frequency

A. Frankowski, B. Famaey, S. Van Eck +3

This paper is the second one in a series devoted to the study of properties of binaries involving M giants. The binary frequency of field M giants is derived and compared with the…
