The Stability of Double White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Direct Impact Accretion
Patrick M. Motl, Juhan Frank, Joel E. Tohline +1
We present numerical simulations of dynamically unstable mass transfer in a double white dwarf binary with initial mass ratio, q = 0.4. The binary components are approximated as po…

Numerical Simulations of the Onset and Stability of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
Mario C. R. D'Souza, Patrick M. Motl, Joel E. Tohline +1
Hydrodynamical simulations of semi-detached, polytropic binary stars are presented in an effort to study the onset and stability of dynamical mass transfer events. Initial, synchro…
