Three-dimensional simulations of accretion disks in pre-CE systems -- II. Accretion efficiency and angular momentum transport
Ana L. Juarez-Garcia, Mike Y. M. Lau, Orsola De Marco +3
Rapid mass transfer preceding a common envelope event is a critical yet poorly understood stage of binary stellar evolution, setting the initial conditions for the common envelope…
Dust Formation in Common Envelope Binary Interactions -- III. Lightcurves
Chunliang Mu, Orsola De Marco, Luis C. Bermúdez-Bustamante +6
Luminous red novae are transient events thought to arise from common envelope binary interactions. In this paper, we perform post-processing light-curve calculations for two, 3D hy…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS: methods paper II
Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley, Adam Boesky +13
The COMPAS public rapid binary population synthesis code has undergone a number of key improvements since the original COMPAS methods paper (Team COMPAS: Riley et al., 2022) was pu…
Common envelopes in massive stars III. The obstructive role of radiation transport in envelope ejection
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Daniel J. Price +2
We present 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations of common-envelope (CE) evolution involving a 12 solar mass red supergiant donor and a 3 solar mass companion. Existing 3D simulat…
Dust formation during the interaction of binary stars by common envelope
Luis C. Bermúdez-Bustamante, Orsola De Marco, Lionel Siess +7
We performed numerical simulations of the common envelope (CE) interaction between two intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and their low-mass companions. For the…
Expansion of accreting main-sequence stars during rapid mass transfer
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Ilya Mandel +1
Accreting main-sequence stars expand significantly when the mass accretion timescale is much shorter than their thermal timescales. This occurs during mass transfer from an evolved…
Dust formation in common envelope binary interactions -- II: 3D simulations with self-consistent dust formation
Luis C. Bermúdez-Bustamante, Orsola De Marco, Lionel Siess +7
We performed numerical simulations of the common envelope (CE) interaction between thermally-pulsing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of 1.7~\Msun and 3.7~\Msun, respectively, a…
Hot Jupiter engulfment by a red giant in 3D hydrodynamics
Mike Y. M. Lau, Matteo Cantiello, Adam S. Jermyn +3
Hot Jupiters are gas giant planets with orbital periods of a few days and are found in 0.1-1% of Sun-like stars. They are expected to be engulfed during their host star's radial ex…
Rejuvenated accretors have less bound envelopes: Impact of Roche lobe overflow on subsequent common envelope events
M. Renzo, E. Zapartas, S. Justham +5
Common-envelope (CE) evolution is an outstanding open problem in stellar evolution, critical to the formation of compact binaries including gravitational-wave sources. In the ``cla…
Common envelopes in massive stars II: The distinct roles of hydrogen and helium recombination
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Daniel J. Price +1
The role of recombination during a common-envelope event has been long debated. Many studies have argued that much of hydrogen recombination energy, which is radiated in relatively…
Common envelope binary interaction simulations between a thermally-pulsating AGB star and a low mass companion
Miguel Gonzalez-Bolivar, Orsola De Marco, Mike Y. M. Lau +2
At least one in five of all planetary nebulae are the product of a common envelope (CE) interaction, where the companion in-spirals into the envelope of an asymptotic giant branch…
Common envelopes in massive stars: Towards the role of radiation pressure and recombination energy in ejecting red supergiant envelopes
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Miguel González-Bolívar +3
We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations of a common-envelope event involving a 12 solar mass red supergiant donor. Massive stars are expected to be qualitatively different from lo…
