The EBLM Project XVIII. 3D Obliquities of Five Low-Mass Eclipsing Binaries
Becca Spejcher, David V. Martin, Jake Pandina +19
A question that continues to perplex astronomers is the formation of tight stellar binaries. There is too much angular momentum in a collapsing and fragmenting protostellar cloud t…
