The Formation of Very Close Binary Stars
Maxwell Moe
The majority of very close binaries (orbital periods P < 5 days) are in triples. Previous studies surmised that the tertiary hardened the inner binary via Kozai-Lidov cycles couple…
Searching for GEMS: Discovery and Characterization of Two Brown Dwarfs Around M Dwarfs
Alexander Larsen, Tera N. Swaby, Henry A. Kobulnicky +17
Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between stars and planets, providing valuable insight into both planetary and stellar formation mechanisms. Yet the census of transiting brown dwarf com…
Formation of long-period post-common-envelope binaries I. No extra energy is needed to explain oxygen-neon white dwarfs paired with AFGK-type main-sequence stars
Diogo Belloni, Monica Zorotovic, Matthias R. Schreiber +3
In this first in a series of papers related to long-period post-common-envelope (CE) binaries, we investigated whether extra energy is required or not to explain the currently know…
Evidence for saturated and disrupted magnetic braking from samples of detached close binaries with M and K dwarfs
Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber, Maxwell Moe +2
Context. Recent observations of close detached eclipsing M and K dwarf binaries have provided substantial support for magnetic saturation when stars rotate sufficiently fast, leadi…
