Common Envelope Evolution: Where we stand and how we can move forward
N. Ivanova, S. Justham, X. Chen +16
This work aims to present our current best physical understanding of common-envelope evolution (CEE). We highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas which shoul…
The extremely long period X-ray source in a young supernova remnant: a Thorne-Zytkow Object descendant?
X. W. Liu, R. X. Xu, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +4
The origin of the 6.67 hr period X-ray source, 1E161348-5055, in the young supernova remnant RCW 103 is puzzling. We propose that it may be the descendant of a Thorne-Zytkow Object…
MAXI J1659-152: The shortest orbital period black-hole transient in outburst
E. Kuulkers, C. Kouveliotou, T. Belloni +12
MAXI J1659-152 is a bright X-ray transient black-hole candidate binary system discovered in September 2010. We report here on MAXI, RXTE, Swift, and XMM-Newton observations during…
