The Common Envelope Evolution Outcome. III. the Improvement of Stellar Binding Energy with the Envelope Residual

Lifu Zhang, Hongwei Ge, Dylan Hebrail +7

Common-envelope evolution (CEE) is a key process in the evolution of close binary systems. Many important astrophysical objects and evolutionary stages are closely related to CEE,…

Binary Constraints on the Origin of Nitrogen-rich Field Stars

Liao Yang, Baitian Tang, José G. Fernández-Trincado +4

Recent JWST observations have revealed galaxies with unusually high N/O ratios, suggesting that nitrogen enrichment may be common in intense star-forming environments in the early…

Influence of mass-transfer stability on the formation of post-common-envelope binaries

Yanxu Shi, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +9

Post-common-envelope binaries are the natural laboratories for constraining the physics of common envelope evolution, which is one of the most uncertain phases in binary stellar ev…

Mass-Orbital Period Distribution of Massive White Dwarfs Formed Through Stable Mass Transfer

Rizhong Zheng, Hongwei Ge, Christopher A Tout +10

White dwarfs (WDs) in binaries can form through either the stable mass-transfer process or common envelope evolution (CEE). Compared to CEE, the stable mass-transfer process can le…

Formation of Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Enhanced Angular Momentum Loss

Ziqi Zhao, Zhenwei Li, Zhengwei Liu +6

Extremely low-mass white dwarfs (ELM WDs) are helium (He) WDs with masses below , mainly formed through binary interaction. ELM WD binaries typically are forme…

Adiabatic Mass Loss In Binary Stars. VI. Massive Helium Binary Stars

Lifu Zhang, Hongwei Ge, Zhenwei Li +6

The stability of binary mass transfer is a critical problem for binary evolution. We systematically calculate the adiabatic mass-loss model for naked helium stars with masses rangi…
