One's loss is (not) another's gain: Isotropic re-emission destabilizes mass transfer from radiative donor stars
K. D. Temmink, S. Justham, O. R. Pols
Non-conservative mass transfer plays a central role in close-binary evolution, yet its effects on mass-transfer stability are uncertain. One widely adopted prescription, isotropic…
Good things come to those who wait: Watching donor stars evolve towards a mass-transfer instability
Karel D. Temmink, Onno R. Pols, Stephen Justham +1
Unstable mass transfer in binary systems can lead to transients such as luminous red novae (LRNe). Observations of such transients are valuable for understanding and testing models…
Understanding post-red giant branch binaries through stable mass transfer
C. A. S. Moltzer, O. R. Pols, H. Van Winckel +2
Post-RGB and post-AGB binaries consist of a primary star that has recently evolved off either the RGB or AGB after losing most of its envelope, and a main-sequence companion. They…
The first phase of mass transfer in low-mass binaries: neither stable nor a common envelope
Gijs Nelemans, Holly Preece, Karel Temmink +2
The masses of the white dwarfs in a binary carry information about previous mass-transfer phases. The core mass -- radius relation of low-mass giants gives the size of the progenit…
Local stellar formation history from the 40 pc white dwarf sample
E. Cukanovaite, P. -E. Tremblay, S. Toonen +4
We derive the local stellar formation history from the Gaia-defined 40 pc white dwarf sample. This is currently the largest volume-complete sample of white dwarfs for which spectro…
Coping with loss: Stability of mass transfer from post-main sequence donor stars
K. D. Temmink, O. R. Pols, S. Justham +2
The stability of mass transfer is critical in determining pathways towards various kinds of compact binaries, such as compact main-sequence white-dwarf binaries, and transients, su…
Astrophysics with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro Seoane, Jeff Andrews, Manuel Arca Sedda +156
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address many…
Population synthesis of accreting white dwarfs: Rates and evolutionary pathways of H and He novae
Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +5
Novae are some of the most commonly detected optical transients and have the potential to provide valuable information about binary evolution. Binary population synthesis codes hav…
Looks can be deceiving: underestimating the age of single white dwarfs due to binary mergers
Karel D. Temmink, Silvia Toonen, Emmanouil Zapartas +2
Context: White dwarfs (WDs) are important and abundant tools to study the structure and evolution of the Galactic environment. However, the multiplicity of WD progenitors is genera…
