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…
Weakened inspirals -- I: High mass ratio common envelope interactions in RGB stars
Jack Patrick Nibbs, Orsola De Marco, Lionel Siess +2
The common envelope (CE) interaction between an expanding giant star and a compact companion typically leads to a rapid orbital decay, ending in either a merger or the formation of…
Comprehensive neutrino light curves and spectra: from pre-supernova evolution to early supernova phase
Chinami Kato, Hiroki Nagakura, Akira Ito +4
We present the first systematic study of neutrino emissions from massive stars, continuously tracking the late evolutionary stages through the early core-collapse supernova phase.…
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…
