Shaping the horizontal branch: The role of envelope mass in the evolution of stripped core-helium-burning stars
Eduardo Arancibia-Rojas, Mónica Zorotovic, Maja VuÄkoviÄ +2
The location of a star along the horizontal branch (HB) during core-helium burning is primarily determined by the amount of mass lost by its progenitor. We investigate the formatio…
ZTF J021804.16+071152.93: a dead cataclysmic variable and potential solution to the missing period bouncers
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +22
It is predicted that half or more of all cataclysmic variables (CVs) should have evolved past the period minimum and now exist as so-called "period bouncers" where a white dwarf sh…
Extreme mass loss during common envelope evolution: the origin of the double low-mass white dwarf system J2102--4145
Leandro G. Althaus, Alejandro H. Corsico, Monica Zorotovic +3
Eclipsing close double white dwarf (WD) systems provide a unique opportunity to directly constrain hydrogen-envelope retention and test common-envelope (CE) evolution in low-mass s…
White Dwarf Binaries: Probes of Future Astrophysics
Anna F. Pala, Roberto Raddi, Alberto Rebassa-Mansergas +25
White dwarf binaries are fundamental astrophysical probes. They represent ideal laboratories to test the models of binary evolution, which also apply to the sources of gravitationa…
Volume-limited sample of low-mass red giant stars, the progenitors of hot subdwarf stars II. Sample validation
Diego Benitez-Palacios, Murat Uzundag, Maja VuÄkoviÄ +6
We investigate the progenitors of long-period hot subdwarf B (sdB) binaries, which form when low-mass red giant branch (RGB) stars lose their envelopes through stable Roche lobe ov…
Two almost planetary mass survivors of common envelope evolution
S. G. Parsons, A. J. Brown, S. L. Casewell +19
White dwarfs are often found in close binaries with stellar or even substellar companions. It is generally thought that these compact binaries form via common envelope evolution, t…
