Population Synthesis Studies of Close Binary Systems Using a Variable Common Envelope Efficiency Parameter: I. Dependence upon Secondary Mass
Michael Politano, Kevin P. Weiler
We perform population synthesis calculations of present-day post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) and zero-age cataclysmic variables (ZACVs) using a common envelope efficiency para…

The Distribution of Secondary Masses in Post-Common Envelope Binaries: A Potential Test of Disrupted Magnetic Braking
Michael Politano, Kevin P. Weiler
The distribution of secondary star masses in present-day post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) is calculated using four different models for angular momentum loss (AML) during the…
