A Helium-shell Burning Blue Horizontal Branch Star Produced from Common Envelope Evolution
Jiao Li, Changqing Luo, Hai-Liang Chen +16
Observationally, blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars are defined as hot stars occupying a characteristic region between the extreme blue horizontal branch and RR Lyrae variables in…
An energetic dirty fireball detected in soft X-rays
C. -Y. Dai, J. Quirola-Vásquez, Y. -H. Wang +76
The collapse of massive stars drives explosions that power relativistic fireballs. If only a small amount of matter is entrained, such clean fireballs can expand with Lorentz facto…
Formation of Be stars via wind accretion: Case study on Black hole + Be star binaries
Zhenwei Li, Shi Jia, Dandan Wei +5
Be stars are rapidly rotating main-sequence (MS) stars that play a crucial role in understanding stellar evolution and binary interactions. In this letter, we propose a new formati…
Evolution Models of CO WD -- AGB Star Merger Remnants
Chengyuan Wu, Heran Xiong, Shi Jia +2
Common envelope evolution is a critical but still poorly understood phase in binary evolution. It plays a key role in forming close binaries such as hot subdwarfs, double white dwa…
Orbital Parameters of 665 Double-lined Spectroscopic Binaries in the LAMOST Medium-Resolution Survey
Sufen Guo, Mikhail Kovalev, Jiao Li +9
The period, mass ratio, eccentricity, and other orbital parameters are fundamental for investigating binary star evolution. However, the number of binaries with known orbital param…
Detection of Ubiquitous Circumbinary Matter in Hot Subdwarfs Formed from Common-Envelope Ejections
Jiangdan Li, Christian Wolf, Jiao Li +7
The formation of compact binary systems is largely driven by their evolution through a common envelope (CE) phase, crucial for understanding phenomena such as type Ia supernovae an…
