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…
Magnetized Moving Mesh Merger of a Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf Binary
Chenchong Zhu, Rudiger Pakmor, Marten H. van Kerkwijk +1
White dwarf (WD) binary mergers are possible progenitors to a number of unusual stars and transient phenomena, including type Ia supernovae. To date, simulations of mergers have no…
Star Formation in Self-Gravitating Turbulent Fluids
Norman W. Murray, Philip Chang
We present a model of star formation in self-gravitating turbulent gas. We treat the turbulent velocity as a dynamical variable, and assume that it is adiabatically heated by…
Time Varying Dynamical Star Formation Rate
Eve J. Lee, Philip Chang, Norman Murray
We present numerical evidence of dynamic star formation in which the accreted stellar mass grows superlinearly with time, roughly as . We perform simulations of star formation…
A Parameter-Space Study of Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf Mergers
Chenchong Zhu, Philip Chang, Marten van Kerkwijk +1
The merger of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs can lead either to a spectacular transient, stable nuclear burning or a massive, rapidly rotating white dwarf. Simulations of mergers h…
Properties of Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarf Merger Remnants
Chenchong Zhu, Philip Chang, Marten van Kerkwijk +1
Recent studies have shown that for suitable initial conditions both super- and sub-Chandrasekhar mass carbon-oxygen white dwarf mergers produce explosions similar to observed SNe I…
