A Framework for Linking Pre- and Post-Common Envelope Binary Properties with Star Clusters: The First Demonstration with a Massive White Dwarf+M Dwarf Binary in Alessi 12
Steffani M. Grondin, Maria R. Drout, Jason Nordhaus +12
Common envelope (CE) evolution is a critical phase in the lives of binary stars, producing close binaries that are progenitors of type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave sources.…
A systematic method to identify runaways from star clusters produced from single-binary interactions: A case study of M67
A. Herrera-Urquieta, N. Leigh, J. Pinto +9
One hypothesis for runaway stars (RSs) is that they are ejected from star clusters with high velocities relative to the cluster center-of-mass motion. There are two competing mecha…
The first catalog of candidate white dwarf-main sequence binaries in open star clusters: A new window into common envelope evolution
Steffani M. Grondin, Maria R. Drout, Jason Nordhaus +3
Close binary systems are the progenitors to both Type Ia supernovae and the compact object mergers that can be detected via gravitational waves. To achieve a binary with a small ra…
Searching for the extra-tidal stars of globular clusters using high-dimensional analysis and a core particle spray code
Steffani M. Grondin, Jeremy J. Webb, Nathan W. C. Leigh +2
Three-body interactions can eject stars from the core of a globular cluster, causing them to enter the Galactic halo as extra-tidal stars. While finding extra-tidal stars is impera…
Massive White Dwarfs in Young Star Clusters
Harvey B. Richer, Ilaria Caiazzo, Helen Du +6
We have carried out a search for massive white dwarfs (WDs) in the direction of young open star clusters using the Gaia DR2 database. The aim of this survey was to provide robust d…
