Moving-Mesh Simulations of Mini-Common Envelope Ejection in Classical Novae
Nicholas Nelson, Philip Chang
Although well studied, our understanding of the mass ejection mechanisms of cataclysmic variables remains incomplete. Recent work suggests that binary interaction plays an importan…
Stars with Plumbing Issues: The Formation of Collimated Outflows on Common-Envelope Simulations and Comparison to Water Fountains Observations
Sarah V. Borges, Philip Chang
Common-envelope evolution (CEE) is one of the biggest open questions in binary stellar evolution, despite being the main channel for the formation of close binaries. One of the mai…
A non-interacting Galactic black hole candidate in a binary system with a main-sequence star
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Joshua D. Simon, Peter A. Craig +10
We describe the discovery of a solar neighborhood (d=468 pc) binary system with a main-sequence sunlike star and a massive non-interacting black hole candidate. The spectral energy…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Observational Facilities to Study Dark Matter
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Ting S. Li +21
We present an overview of future observational facilities that will significantly enhance our understanding of the fundamental nature of dark matter. These facilities span a range…
Constraining blazar heating with the 2<z<3 Lyman- forest
A. Lamberts, E. Puchwein, C. Pfrommer +5
The intergalactic medium (IGM) acts like a calorimeter recording energy injection by cosmic structure formation, shocks and photoheating from stars and active galactic nuclei. It w…
Eclipse timing the Milky Way's gravitational potential
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Daniel J. Stevens, Jason Wright +4
We show that a small, but \textit{measurable} shift in the eclipse mid-point time of eclipsing binary (EBs) stars of 0.1 seconds over a decade baseline can be used to direct…
