Adiabatic mass loss in binary stars. III. From the base of the red giant branch to the tip of asymptotic giant branch
Hongwei Ge, Ronald F Webbink, Xuefei Chen +1
The distinguishing feature of the evolution of close binary stars is the role played by the mass exchange between the component stars. Whether the mass transfer is dynamically stab…
The thermal equilibrium mass loss model and its applications in binary evolution
Hongwei Ge, Ronald F Webbink, Zhanwen Han
Binary evolution is indispensable in stellar evolution to understand the formation and evolution of most peculiar and energetic objects, such as binary compact objects, Type Ia sup…
Common Envelope Evolution of Massive Stars
Paul M. Ricker, Frank X. Timmes, Ronald E. Taam +1
The discovery via gravitational waves of binary black hole systems with total masses greater than has raised interesting questions for stellar evolution theory. Among t…
Adiabatic Mass Loss in Binary Stars. II. From Zero-Age Main Sequence to the Base of the Giant Branch
Hongwei Ge, Ronald F. Webbink, Xuefei Chen +1
In the limit of extremely rapid mass transfer, the response of a donor star in an interacting binary becomes asymptotically one of adiabatic expansion. We survey here adiabatic mas…
Watch This Space: Observing Merging White Dwarfs
Ronald F. Webbink
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open the low-frequency (0.1-100 mHz) part of the gravitational wave spectrum to direct observation. Of order 3600 galactic close…
Stellar adiabatic mass loss model and applications
Hongwei Ge, Ronald F. Webbink, Zhanwen Han +1
Roche-lobe overflow and common envelope evolution are very important in binary evolution, which is believed to be the main evolutionary channel to hot subdwarf stars. The details o…
