Fates of the sub-stellar objects (FOSSO) I. Fates of the known brown dwarfs in main-sequence--BD binaries
Zhangliang Chen, Hongming Jin, Hongwei Ge +4
Context. Understanding the survival and orbital evolution of brown dwarf (BD) companions during the post-main-sequence (MS) evolution of their host stars is increasingly important,…
Searching for White Dwarf Candidates Formed Through Binary evolution in Star Clusters
Huahui Yan, Li Wang, David R. Miller +11
White dwarfs (WDs), the evolutionary endpoints of most stars, can form through both single-star and binary channels. While single-star evolutionary models enable reliable WD age es…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, OndÅej Pejcha, Tomek KamiÅski +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
Explanation of the Mass Distribution of Binary Black Hole Mergers
Lei Li, Guoliang Lv, Chunhua Zhu +5
Gravitational wave detectors are observing an increasing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers, revealing a bimodal mass distribution of BBHs, which hints at diverse formation…
A magnetic white dwarf formed through a binary merger within 35 million years
Huahui Yan, Jiamao Lin, Rizhong Zheng +15
White dwarfs (WDs) represent the final evolutionary stage of most stars, typically originating from progenitor stars with masses below approximately 8 to 10 …
A post-common-envelope binary with double-peaked Balmer emission lines from TMTS
Qichun Liu, Xiaofeng Wang, Jie Lin +20
The dynamical method provides an efficient way to discover post-common-envelope binaries (PCEB) with faint white dwarfs (WDs), thanks to the development of time-domain survey proje…
