Wind-accelerated orbital evolution in binary systems with giant stars
Zhuo Chen, Eric G. Blackman, Jason Nordhaus +2
Using 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations and analytic theory, we study the orbital evolution of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) binary systems for various initial orbital separati…
Mass Transfer and Disc Formation in AGB Binary Systems
Zhuo Chen, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +2
We investigate mass transfer and the formation of disc in binary systems using a combination of numerical simulations and theory. We consider six models distinguished by binary sep…
Mass transfer in asymptotic-giant-branch binary systems
Z. Chen, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman +2
Binary stars can interact via mass transfer when one member (the primary) ascends onto a giant branch. The amount of gas ejected by the binary and the amount of gas accreted by the…
