Radiatively Cooled Binary Mass Transfer: Flow Structure, Luminosities, and L2 Outflows Across Mass Transfer Rates
Peter Scherbak, Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller
High rates of stable mass transfer (MT) occur for some binary star systems, resulting in luminous transients and circumbinary outflows (CBOs). We perform hydrodynamical simulations…
Characterizing the host galaxies and delay times of Ca-rich gap transients vs 91bg-like SNe and normal Type Ia SNe
Peter Scherbak, Abigail Polin, Mansi Kasliwal +4
Calcium-rich gap transients are a faint, fast-evolving class of supernovae that show strong nebular Ca emission lines. Their progenitor systems are uncertain, but they are often as…
Rapid binary mass transfer: Circumbinary outflows and angular momentum losses
Peter Scherbak, Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller
High rates of stable mass transfer likely occur for some binary star systems, but the resulting flow of mass and angular momentum (AM) is unclear. We perform hydrodynamical simulat…
Ultrashort-period WD binaries are not undergoing strong tidal heating
Peter Scherbak, Jim Fuller
Double white dwarf (WD) binaries are increasingly being discovered at short orbital periods where strong tidal effects and significant tidal heating signatures may occur. We assume…
White dwarf binaries suggest a common envelope efficiency
Peter Scherbak, Jim Fuller
Common envelope (CE) evolution, which is crucial in creating short period binaries and associated astrophysical events, can be constrained by reverse modeling of such binaries' for…
