Influence of mass-transfer stability on the formation of post-common-envelope binaries
Yanxu Shi, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +9
Post-common-envelope binaries are the natural laboratories for constraining the physics of common envelope evolution, which is one of the most uncertain phases in binary stellar ev…
Evolution of a long-period Cataclysmic Variable from the viewpoint of the donor star: the case of SDSS J085210.48+783246.6
G. Tovmassian, D. Belloni, I. Mora Zamora +8
Cataclysmic variables were long considered to be close binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a Roche-lobe-filling, near-zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) red or brown dwarf. Recent…
No Period Change in Two Long-Period AM CVn Binaries
Matthew J. Green, Thomas R. Marsh, Jan van Roestel +25
Ultracompact binary systems, consisting of two compact objects in an orbit , should exhibit measurable rates of orbital period change () due t…
A modest change in magnetic braking at the fully convective boundary explains cataclysmic variable evolution
JoaquÃn A. Barraza-Jorquera, Matthias R. Schreiber, Stuart Littlefair +2
Context. For decades, reproducing the orbital period distribution of non-magnetic Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) seemed to require a drastic decrease, usually termed disruption, of an…
Distance Estimation and Sky Localization of Eccentric Double White Dwarf Binaries from Gravitational Wave Observations inside Globular Clusters
Yuetong Zhao, L. Hellström, Siqi Zhang +7
The cosmic distance scale is built on multiple different techniques for estimating distances in space that are often connected and dependent on multiple measurements and assumption…
From Main Sequence Binary to Blast: MESA Modeling of the Double-Detonation Progenitor PTF1~J2238+7430
Mercedes S. Hernandez, Thomas Kupfer, Diogo Belloni +1
Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars in close binaries with white dwarf (WD) companions are potential progenitors of double-detonation thermonuclear supernovae. The recently discovered syste…
