A New Model of Roche-lobe Overflow for Short-Period Gaseous Planets and Binary Stars
Brian Jackson, Phil Arras, Kaloyan Penev +2
Some close-in gaseous exoplanets are nearly in Roche-lobe contact, and previous studies show tidal decay can drive hot Jupiters into contact during the main sequence of their host…
Common envelope ejection in massive binary stars - Implications for the progenitors of GW150914 and GW151226
M. U. Kruckow, T. M. Tauris, N. Langer +3
The recently detected gravitational wave signals (GW150914 and GW151226) of the merger event of a pair of relatively massive stellar-mass black holes (BHs) calls for an investigati…
Asteroseismic test of rotational mixing in low-mass white dwarfs
A. G. Istrate, G. Fontaine, A. Gianninas +4
We exploit the recent discovery of pulsations in mixed-atmosphere (He/H), extremely low-mass white dwarf precursors (ELM proto-WDs) to test the proposition that rotational mixing i…
Stability of Hall equilibria in neutron star crusts
Pablo Marchant, Andreas Reisenegger, Juan Alejandro Valdivia +1
In the solid crusts of neutron stars, the advection of the magnetic field by the current-carrying electrons, an effect known as Hall drift, should play a very important role as the…
