Population synthesis of binary stars
Robert G. Izzard, Ghina M. Halabi
Many aspects of the evolution of stars, and in particular the evolution of binary stars, remain beyond our ability to model them in detail. Instead, we rely on observations to guid…
Post-common envelope binary systems experiencing helium-shell driven stable mass transfer
Ghina M. Halabi, Robert G. Izzard, Christopher A. Tout
We evolve stellar models to study the common envelope (CE) interaction of an early asymptotic giant branch star of initial mass with a companion star of mass ran…
Binary stars in the Galactic thick disc
Robert G. Izzard, Holly Preece, Paula Jofre +3
The combination of asteroseismologically-measured masses with abundances from detailed analyses of stellar atmospheres challenges our fundamental knowledge of stars and our ability…
Synthesis of C-rich dust in CO nova ourbursts
Jordi Jose, Ghina M. Halabi, Mounib F. El Eid
Context. Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions that take place in the envelopes of accreting white dwarfs in stellar binary systems. The material transferred onto the white…
Exploring masses and CNO surface abundances of red giant stars
Ghina M. Halabi, Mounib El Eid
A grid of evolutionary sequences of stars in the mass range - M, with solar-like initial composition is presented. We focus on this mass range in order to estimat…
Effect of Reaction & Convective Mixing on the Progenitor Mass of ONe White Dwarfs
Ghina M. Halabi, Mounib El Eid
Stars in the mass range ~8 - 12 are the most numerous massive stars. This mass range is critical because it may lead to supernova (SN) explosion, so it is important fo…
Study of the Thermal Pulsation of AGB Stars
Ghina M. Halabi
A systematic investigation on the third dredge up in a 3M, solar metallicity AGB star will be presented. The model evolves from the main sequence up to the Asymptotic Gia…
Sensitivity of the Blue Loops of Intermediate-Mass Stars to Nuclear Reactions
Ghina M. Halabi, Mounib El Eid
We investigate the effects of a modification of the N(p,γ)O reaction rate, as suggested by recent evaluations, on the formation and extension of the blue loops encoun…
The Effect of Nuclear Reaction Rates & Convective Mixing on the Evolution of a 6M Star
Ghina M. Halabi
We present the evolution of a 6M star, of solar-like initial metallicity, and investigate the effects of key nuclear reaction rates, as well as the treatment of the conve…
