Magnetic field generation in mergers of massive main-sequence stars
Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Friedrich K. Roepke +3
Magnetic fields are found in many astrophysical objects, ranging from galaxy clusters to the interstellar medium of galaxies and neutron stars. Strong surface magnetic fields are a…
Magnetically driven outflows in 3D common-envelope evolution of massive stars
Marco Vetter, Friedrich K. Roepke, Fabian R. N. Schneider +7
Recent three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the common-envelope interaction revealed the self-consistent formation of bipolar magnetically driven outflows launche…
From spherical stars to disk-like structures: 3D common-envelope evolution of massive binaries beyond inspiral
M. Vetter, F. K. Roepke, F. R. N. Schneider +4
Three-dimensional simulations usually fail to cover the entire dynamical common-envelope phase of gravitational wave progenitor systems due to the vast range of spatial and tempora…
Large-scale ordered magnetic fields generated in mergers of helium white dwarfs
Rüdiger Pakmor, Ingrid Pelisoli, Stephen Justham +9
Stellar mergers are one important path to highly magnetised stars. Mergers of two low-mass white dwarfs may create up to every third hot subdwarf star. The merging process is usual…
