Visualizing the mass transfer flow in direct-impact accretion
Juhan Frank, Alexander Straub, Sagiv Shiber +6
We use a variety of visualization techniques to display the interior and surface flows in a double white dwarf binary undergoing direct-impact mass transfer and evolving dynamicall…
Hydrodynamic simulations of WD-WD mergers and the origin of RCB stars
Sagiv Shiber, Orsola De Marco, Patrick M. Motl +10
We study the properties of double white dwarf (DWD) mergers by performing hydrodynamic simulations using the new and improved adaptive mesh refinement code Octo-Tiger. We follow th…
Evidence for stellar mergers of evolved massive binaries: blue supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Athira Menon, Andrea Ercolino, Miguel A. Urbaneja +8
Blue supergiants are the brightest stars in their host galaxies and yet their evolutionary status has been a long-standing problem in stellar astrophysics. In this pioneering work,…
Betelgeuse as a Merger of a Massive Star with a Companion
Sagiv Shiber, Emmanouil Chatzopoulos, Bradley Munson +1
We investigate the merger between a 16 solar mass star, on its way to becoming a red supergiant (RSG), and a 4 solar mass main-sequence companion. Our study employs three-dimension…
