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…
JWST/NIRCam imaging of the Bipolar Planetary Nebula NGC 6537: the (Infra)red Spider, Revealed
Joel Kastner, Paula Moraga Baez, Bruce Balick +5
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) near-infrared (NIRCam) Br, H, [Fe II], and PAH imaging of the molecule-rich, high-excitation bipolar planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6…
Enhanced magnetic activity in rapidly rotating binary stars
Jie Yu, Charlotte Gehan, Saskia Hekker +12
Stellar activity is fundamental to stellar evolution and the formation and habitability of exoplanets. The interaction between convective motions and rotation in cool stars results…
Second-generation planet formation after tidal disruption from common envelope evolution
Luke Chamandy, Jason Nordhaus, Eric G. Blackman +1
We propose that certain white dwarf (WD) planets, such as WD 1856+534 b, may form out of material from a stellar companion that tidally disrupts from common envelope evolution with…
Light Curve Models of Convective Common Envelopes
N. Noughani, J. Nordhaus, M. Richmond +1
Common envelopes are thought to be the main method for producing tight binaries in the universe as the orbital period shrinks by several orders of magnitude during this phase. Desp…
How negative feedback and the ambient environment limit the influence of recombination in common envelope evolution
Luke Chamandy, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Eric G. Blackman +5
We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study recombination and ionization during the common envelope (CE) phase of binary evolution, and develop techniques to track the ionic…
