Population Synthesis of Common Envelope Mergers: I. Giant Stars with Stellar or Substellar Companions
Michael Politano, Marc van der Sluys, Ronald E. Taam +1
Using a population synthesis technique, we have calculated detailed models of the present-day field population of objects that have resulted from the merger of a giant primary and…
