Reframing the Wide Eccentric Binary Problem: Eccentricity as a Probe of Mass-transfer Physics
A. Parkosidis, S. Toonen, E. Laplace +1
Observations of wide post-interaction binaries show an unexpected feature; orbital eccentricity, which is not understood theoretically. A promising resolution to this long-standing…
Rethinking mass transfer: a unified semianalytical framework for circular and eccentric binaries. II. Orbital evolution due to nonconservative mass transfer
A. Parkosidis, S. Toonen, E. Laplace +1
Although mass transfer (MT) has been studied primarily in circular binaries, observations show that it also occurs in eccentric systems. We investigate orbital evolution during non…
Rethinking mass transfer: a unified semi-analytical framework for circular and eccentric binaries. I. Orbital evolution due to conservative mass transfer
A. Parkosidis, S. Toonen, F. Dosopoulou +1
Mass transfer (MT) is a fundamental process in stellar evolution. While MT in circular orbits is well studied, observations indicate that it also occurs in eccentric ones, where th…
Episodic outbursts during brown dwarf formation
Adam Parkosidis, Dimitris Stamatellos, Basmah Riaz
There is evidence that stars and browns dwarfs grow through episodic rather than continuous gas accretion. However, the role of episodic accretion in the formation of brown dwarfs…
