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…
