Formation of Ba stars : impact of wind Roche lobe overflow and circumbinary disk in shaping the orbital parameters

Pawel Krynski, L. Siess, A. Jorissen +1

After more than three decades of investigation, the distribution of Ba stars in the e-log P diagram still defies our understanding. Recent smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations…

Binary evolution using the theory of osculating orbits: conservative Algol evolution

P. J. Davis, L. Siess, R. Deschamps

Our aim is to calculate the evolution of Algol binaries within the framework of the osculating orbital theory, which considers the perturbing forces acting on the orbit of each sta…

The formation of long-period eccentric binaries with a helium white dwarf

L. Siess, P. J. Davis, A. Jorissen

The recent discovery of long-period eccentric binaries hosting a He-WD or a sdB star has been challenging binary-star modelling. Based on accurate determinations of the stellar and…

Main-sequence progenitor configurations of the NN Ser candidate circumbinary planetary system are dynamically unstable

Alexander J Mustill, Jonathan P Marshall, Eva Villaver +4

Recent observations of the NN Serpentis post-common envelope binary system have revealed eclipse timing variations that have been attributed to the presence of two Jovian-mass exop…

Critically-rotating accretors and non-conservative evolution in Algols

R. Deschamps, L. Siess, P. J. Davis +1

During the mass-transfer phase in Algol systems, a large amount of mass and angular momentum are accreted by the gainer star which can be accelerated up to its critical Keplerian v…

Stability of super-Chandrasekhar magnetic white dwarfs

N. Chamel, A. F. Fantina, P. J. Davis

It has been recently proposed that very massive white dwarfs endowed with strongly quantizing magnetic fields might be the progenitors of overluminous type Ia supernovae like SN 20…
