Can low metallicity binaries avoid merging?
S. E. de Mink, M. Cottaar, O. R. Pols
Rapid mass transfer in a binary system can drive the accreting star out of thermal equilibrium, causing it to expand. This can lead to a contact system, strong mass loss from the s…

Binaries at Low Metallicity: ranges for case A, B and C mass transfer
S. E. de Mink, O. R. Pols, S. -C. Yoon
The evolution of single stars at low metallicity has attracted a large interest, while the effect of metallicity on binary evolution remains still relatively unexplored. We study t…

Critically rotating stars in binaries - an unsolved problem -
S. E. de Mink, O. R. Pols, E. Glebbeek
In close binaries mass and angular momentum can be transferred from one star to the other during Roche-lobe overflow. The efficiency of this process is not well understood and cons…
