Post-Newtonian Roche-Lobe-Overflow Prescription for Compact Binary Mass Transfer and the Corresponding Gravitational Waveforms
Shuai Zhang, Jie Yang, Zi-Han Zhang +1
Mass transfer in binary systems is central to many astrophysical phenomena, including the evolution of compact interacting binaries. Starting from the first post-Newtonian hydrodyn…

The diverse morphology of gravitational wave signals from merging neutron-star white-dwarf binaries
Shenghua Yu, Youjun Lu, C. Simon Jeffery +6
In sufficiently compact neutron star-white dwarf (NSWD) binary systems, orbital decay means the white dwarf eventually fills its shrinking Roche lobe, initiating a phase of mass tr…

Impact of mass transfer on the orbital evolution of a white dwarf close to an intermediate-mass black hole
Yang Yang, Jie Yang, Xian Chen +1
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) of low-mass white dwarfs (WDs, 0.1 - 0.3 Msun) around spinning intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, 10^3 - 10^5 Msun) offer unique opportuniti…
