2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects

Madeline Overton, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1

Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is…

Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4

Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_{…

Disc breaking through forced eccentricity growth

Madeline Overton, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow +1

Motivated by misaligned discs observed in eccentric orbit Be/X-ray binaries, we examine the evolution of a retrograde disc around one component of an eccentric binary with hydrodyn…

Formation of Be star decretion discs through boundary layer effects

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +3

Be stars are rapidly rotating, with angular frequency around of their Keplerian break up frequency, as a result of significant accretion during the earlier stellar evolut…

The Rise of Nova V1674 Herculis

Robert M. Quimby, Brian D. Metzger, Ken J. Shen +3

Observational constraints on classical novae are heavily biased to phases near optical peak and later because of the simple fact that novae are not typically discovered until they…

Retrograde discs around one component of a binary are unstable to tilting

Madeline Overton, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow +1

With hydrodynamic simulations we show that a coplanar disc around one component of a binary can be unstable to global tilting when the disc orbits in a retrograde direction relativ…
