Quantifying the impact of relativistic precession on tidal disruption event light curves
Diego Calderón, OndÅej Pejcha, Brian D. Metzger +2
The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impa…
On the effects of radiation on mass transfer in binary stars
Jakub Cehula, OndÅej Pejcha
Mass transfer (MT) in binary systems is a common evolutionary process that can significantly affect the structure, evolution, and final fate of both stars. In modeling MT hydrodyna…
Two-Dimensional Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Luminous Red Novae
Anthony Kirilov, Diego Calderón, OndÅej Pejcha +1
Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) are transients associated with mass ejection during stellar mergers and common envelope evolution (CEE). LRNe have the potential to illuminate the poorly…
Journey to the center of the common envelope evolution. Inner dynamics of the post-dynamical inspiral
Damien Gagnier, Ondrej Pejcha
Three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of common envelope evolution are often terminated soon after the initial dynamical plunge of the companion transitions into a long-last…
