Evolving Low- and Intermediate-Mass Binaries: Departures from Classical Theory

Lionel Siess

This review explores the physical mechanisms driving the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass binary star systems, with particular emphasis on emerging mechanisms that challenge…

Weakened inspirals -- I: High mass ratio common envelope interactions in RGB stars

Jack Patrick Nibbs, Orsola De Marco, Lionel Siess +2

The common envelope (CE) interaction between an expanding giant star and a compact companion typically leads to a rapid orbital decay, ending in either a merger or the formation of…

Evidence for the Keplerian orbit of a close companion around a giant star

Mats Esseldeurs, Leen Decin, Joris De Ridder +31

Close companions influence stellar evolution through tidal interactions, mass transfer, and mass loss effects. While such companions are detected around young stellar objects, main…

An accreting dwarf star orbiting the S-type giant star pi1 Gru

M. Montargès, J. Malfait, M. Esseldeurs +20

Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the inner companion of the S-type AGB star pi1 Gru and to identify plausible future evolutionary scenarios for this triple system. Me…

ATOMIUM: Continuum emission and evidence of dust enhancement from binary motion

T. Danilovich, N. Samaratunge, Y. Mori +35

Low- and intermediate-mass stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) account for a significant portion of the dust and chemical enrichment in their host galaxy. Here we present AL…

Dust formation during the interaction of binary stars by common envelope

Luis C. Bermúdez-Bustamante, Orsola De Marco, Lionel Siess +7

We performed numerical simulations of the common envelope (CE) interaction between two intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and their low-mass companions. For the…
