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…
Mass-Orbital Period Distribution of Massive White Dwarfs Formed Through Stable Mass Transfer
Rizhong Zheng, Hongwei Ge, Christopher A Tout +10
White dwarfs (WDs) in binaries can form through either the stable mass-transfer process or common envelope evolution (CEE). Compared to CEE, the stable mass-transfer process can le…
The relation between helium white dwarf mass and orbital period under two types of opacity
Jian Mou, Hai-Liang Chen, Dengkai Jiang +5
Helium white dwarfs (He WDs) are end products of low-mass red giant donors in close binary systems via stable mass transfer or common envelope evolution. At the end of stable mass…
A magnetic white dwarf formed through a binary merger within 35 million years
Huahui Yan, Jiamao Lin, Rizhong Zheng +15
White dwarfs (WDs) represent the final evolutionary stage of most stars, typically originating from progenitor stars with masses below approximately 8 to 10 …
