Formation of black hole X-ray binaries with non-degenerate donors in globular clusters

Natalia Ivanova, Cassio A. da Rocha, Kenny X. Van +1

In this Letter we propose a formation channel for low-mass X-ray binaries with black hole accretors and non-degenerate donors via grazing tidal encounters with subgiants. We estima…

Common envelope events with low-mass giants: understanding the transition to the slow spiral-in

Natalia Ivanova, Jose L. A. Nandez

We present a three-dimensional (3D) study of common envelope events (CEEs) to provide a foundation for future one-dimensional (1D) methods to model the self-regulated phase of a CE…

Common envelope events with low-mass giants: understanding the energy budget

Jose L. A. Nandez, Natalia Ivanova

Common envelope events are important interactions between two binary stars that lead to the formation of close binary systems. We present here a systematic three-dimensional study…

Recombination energy in double white dwarf formation

Jose L. A. Nandez, Natalia Ivanova, James C. Lombardi

In this Letter we investigate the role of recombination energy during a common envelope event. We confirm that taking this energy into account helps to avoid the formation of the c…

Testing common envelopes on double white dwarf binaries

Jose L. A. Nandez, Natalia Ivanova, James C. Lombardi

The formation of a double white dwarf binary likely involves a common envelope (CE) event between a red giant and a white dwarf (WD) during the most recent episode of Roche lobe ov…
