ALMA's sharpest view of IRAS 08544-4431: Unveiling the dust distribution asymmetries in the circumbinary disk
Maksym Mohorian, Devika Kamath, Elizabeth Cappellazzo +10
The interactions between post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) binaries and their circumbinary disks play a central role in shaping the evolution of these systems. Circumbinary d…
Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. VI. Hot, compact stars
David Jones, Nicole Reindl, Kyle Conroy +9
Models of eclipsing binaries require the assignment of appropriate emergent intensities to the surface elements of the binary components. For distance-dependent modelling of flux-c…
Contact-binary evolution with energy transfer and saturated magnetic braking
Matthias Fabry, Andrej Prša
The evolution of low-mass contact binaries is influenced by angular-momentum loss, mass and energy transfer, and the nuclear evolution of the components. They have periods shorter…
Attributing the O'Connell effect in contact binaries to a cooling mass-transfer stream
Matthias Fabry, Andrej Prša
Contact binaries are very short-period systems that are continuously interacting by transferring mass and energy. Obtaining large, statistical samples of contact binaries from phot…
Effects of limited core rejuvenation on the properties of massive contact binaries
Jelle Vandersnickt, Matthias Fabry
Context. Massive contact binaries are both stellar merger and gravitational wave progenitors, but their evolution is still uncertain. An open problem in the population synthesis of…
