Effect of Neutron Star Jets on Common Envelope Evolution
Deepanshu Gurjar, Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman +3
The common envelope (CE) phase is a key stage in binary star evolution that is still not very well understood. Once engulfed by the giant star, the binary companion may accrete env…

Understanding the Drag Torque in Common Envelope Evolution
Soumik Bhattacharyya, Luke Chamandy, Eric G. Blackman +2
Common envelope (CE) evolution is largely governed by the drag torque applied on the in-spiralling stellar components by the envelope. Previous work has shown that idealized models…

High-Speed Outflows and Dusty Disks during the AGB to PN Transition: The PANORAMA survey
Raghvendra Sahai, Javier Alcolea, Bruce Balick +15
As mass-losing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars evolve to planetary nebulae (PNe), the mass outflow geometries transform from nearly spherical to extreme aspherical. The physica…
