Phlegethon: a fully compressible magnetohydrodynamic code for simulations in stellar astrophysics
G. Leidi, A. Holas, K. Vitovsky +11
We present PHLEGETHON, a fully compressible, Eulerian magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code designed for multidimensional simulations in stellar astrophysics. The code uses a time-explici…
Local simulations of common-envelope dynamical inspiral. Impact of rotation, accretion, and stratification
D. Gagnier, G. Leidi, M. Vetter +2
Common envelope evolution (CEE) is a crucial phase in binary stellar evolution. Current global three-dimensional simulations lack the resolution to capture the small-scale dynamics…
Magnetically driven outflows in 3D common-envelope evolution of massive stars
Marco Vetter, Friedrich K. Roepke, Fabian R. N. Schneider +7
Recent three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the common-envelope interaction revealed the self-consistent formation of bipolar magnetically driven outflows launche…
From spherical stars to disk-like structures: 3D common-envelope evolution of massive binaries beyond inspiral
M. Vetter, F. K. Roepke, F. R. N. Schneider +4
Three-dimensional simulations usually fail to cover the entire dynamical common-envelope phase of gravitational wave progenitor systems due to the vast range of spatial and tempora…
