A Unified Solution to the Low-Mass X-ray Binary Diversity Puzzle: Saturated Magnetic Braking Coupled with Irradiation-Driven Winds

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li, Bo Wang +4

The standard magnetic braking (MB) model has long failed to explain key properties of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs)---including their accretion rates, the formation of ultracompa…

Post-merger rotational evolution of magnetised single hot subdwarfs results in slow rotation due to magnetic braking

Facundo D. Moyano, Zhengwei Liu, Zhanwen Han +3

Single hot subdwarfs are believed to form through mergers of helium-core white dwarfs, which can lead to large-scale magnetic fields generated during the merger, and may be observa…

Diversity of stripped-envelope supernova light curves from interaction with binary-driven circumstellar material

Dandan Wei, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Philipp Podsiadlowski +2

A growing number of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) exhibit diverse light-curve morphologies that indicate strong interaction with dense, pre-existing circumstellar material (CSM)…

A Helium-shell Burning Blue Horizontal Branch Star Produced from Common Envelope Evolution

Jiao Li, Changqing Luo, Hai-Liang Chen +16

Observationally, blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars are defined as hot stars occupying a characteristic region between the extreme blue horizontal branch and RR Lyrae variables in…

Revisiting atmospheric Roche lobe overflow in symbiotic binaries

Tan Liu, Natalia Ivanova, Philipp Podsiadlowski +5

Classical binary evolution models predict dynamically unstable mass transfer in symbiotic stars with high mass ratios, leading to a common envelope. However, many observed S-type s…

A binary merger product as the direct progenitor of a Type II-P supernova

Zexi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Emmanouil Zapartas +16

Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) are the most common class of core-collapse SNe in the local Universe and play critical roles in many aspects of astrophysics. Since decades ago theo…

The helium common-envelope wind scenario for SN 2020eyj

Xiang-Cun Meng, Philipp Podsiadlowski

SN 2020eyj is the first type Ia supernova (SN Ia) showing the signature of a compact helium-rich circumstellar material (CSM). Such a large CSM is difficult to explain in a single-…

Subdwarf B stars from the common envelope ejection channel

H. Xiong, X. Chen, P. Podsiadlowski +2

From the canonical binary scenario, the majority of sdBs are produced from low-mass stars with degenerate cores where helium is ignited in a way of flashes. Due to numerical diffic…

Progenitors of type Ia supernovae

Bo Wang, Zhanwen Han

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play an important role in astrophysics and are crucial for the studies of stellar evolution, galaxy evolution and cosmology. They are generally thought…
