Origin of Hyperion and Saturn's Rings in A Two-Stage Saturnian System Instability
Matija Ćuk, Maryame El Moutamid, Jim Fuller +1
The age of the rings and some of the moons of Saturn is an open question, and multiple lines of evidence point to a recent (few hundred Myr ago) cataclysm involving disruption of p…
Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Gaseous Planets
Jim Fuller, Marzia Parisi, Steve Markham +2
The excitation and damping mechanisms for oscillation modes of gas giant planets are undetermined. We show that differential rotation may greatly enhance convective viscosity in gi…
Modern tidal interaction models for rapid binary population synthesis: I. Methods
Veome Kapil, Ilya Mandel, Evgeni Grishin +3
In this work, we present an updated prescription of contemporary tidal dissipation theory adapted for rapid binary population synthesis. Our simplified expressions encode the depen…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
Circumstellar interaction in the extreme white dwarf merger remnant ZTF\,J1901+1458: A new class of white dwarf merger remnants with X-ray emission
Aayush Desai, Ilaria Caiazzo, Stephane Vennes +31
Double degenerate white dwarf (WD) mergers can exhibit extreme magnetic fields exceeding G and rapid rotation, but their spectral-energy distributions and high-energy emis…
Fates of Rotating Supergiants from Stellar Mergers and the Landscape of Transients upon Core-collapse
Daichi Tsuna, Jim Fuller, Wenbin Lu
We present a grid of rotating supergiant models from post-main sequence binary merger products, constructed by the MESA stellar evolution code. We focus on the evolution of these s…
Rapid binary mass transfer: Circumbinary outflows and angular momentum losses
Peter Scherbak, Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller
High rates of stable mass transfer likely occur for some binary star systems, but the resulting flow of mass and angular momentum (AM) is unclear. We perform hydrodynamical simulat…
Multi-Phase Shock Cooling Emission in Ultra-Stripped Supernovae
Annastasia Haynie, Samantha C. Wu, Anthony L. Piro +1
Ultra-stripped and Type Ibn supernovae (USSNe and SNe Ibn, respectively) are fast-evolving, hydrogen-poor transients that often show signs of interaction with dense circumstellar m…
Transients by Black Hole Formation from Red Supergiants: Impact of Dense Circumstellar Matter
Daichi Tsuna, Xiaoshan Huang, Jim Fuller +1
Failed supernovae (SNe), which are likely the main channel for forming stellar-mass black holes, are predicted to accompany mass ejections much weaker than typical core-collapse SN…
Boil-off of red supergiants: mass loss and type II-P supernovae
Jim Fuller, Daichi Tsuna
The mass loss mechanism of red supergiant stars is not well understood, even though it has crucial consequences for their stellar evolution and the appearance of supernovae that oc…
Merger Precursor: Year-long Transients Preceding Mergers of Low-mass Stripped Stars with Compact Objects
Daichi Tsuna, Samantha C. Wu, Jim Fuller +2
Binary mass transfer can occur at high rates due to rapid expansion of the donor's envelope. In the case where mass transfer is unstable, the binary can rapidly shrink its orbit an…
Finding the unusual red giant remnants of cataclysmic variable mergers
Nicholas Z. Rui, Jim Fuller
Mergers between helium white dwarfs and main-sequence stars are likely common, producing red giant-like remnants making up roughly a few percent of all low-mass (…
Tidal Dissipation in Giant Planets
Jim Fuller, Tristan Guillot, Stephane Mathis +1
Tidal interactions between moons and planets can have major effects on the orbits, spins, and thermal evolution of the moons. In the Saturn system, tidal dissipation in the planet…
Bright Supernova Precursors by Outbursts from Massive Stars with Compact Object Companions
Daichi Tsuna, Tatsuya Matsumoto, Samantha C. Wu +1
A fraction of core-collapse supernovae (SNe) with signs of interaction with a dense circumstellar matter are preceded by bright precursor emission. While the precursors are likely…
Tidal migration of exoplanets around M-dwarfs: frequency-dependent tidal dissipation
Samantha C. Wu, Janosz W. Dewberry, Jim Fuller
The orbital architectures of short-period exoplanet systems are shaped by tidal dissipation in their host stars. For low-mass M-dwarfs whose dynamical tidal response comprises a de…
