Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
AREPO-RSG: Aspherical Circumstellar Material and Winds from Pulsating Dusty Red Supergiants in Global 3D Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations
Jing-Ze Ma, Stephen Justham, Ruediger Pakmor +3
Recent observations have revealed a surprisingly large fraction of hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) interacting with dense confined circumstellar material (CSM), whose origin is heav…
Violent mergers revisited: The origin of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen, Aakash Bhat +12
Binary systems of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are one of the most promising candidates for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae. Violent mergers, where the primary white…
A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
A half-ring of ionized circumstellar material trapped in the magnetosphere of a white dwarf merger remnant
Andrei A. Cristea, Ilaria Caiazzo, Tim Cunningham +31
Many white dwarfs are observed in compact double white dwarf binaries and, through the emission of gravitational waves, a large fraction are destined to merge. The merger remnants…
A fundamental limit to how close binary systems can get via stable mass transfer shapes the properties of binary black hole mergers
Jakub Klencki, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +4
Mass transfer in binary systems is the key process in the formation of various classes of objects, including merging binary black holes (BBHs) and neutron stars. Orbital evolution…
