Binary Evolutionary Models
Z. Han, Ph. Podsiadlowski
In this talk, we present the general principles of binary evolution and give two examples. The first example is the formation of subdwarf B stars (sdBs) and their application to th…
A binary model for the UV-upturn of elliptical galaxies (MNRAS version)
Z. Han, Ph. Podsiadlowski, A. E. Lynas-Gray
The discovery of a flux excess in the far-ultraviolet (UV) spectrum of elliptical galaxies was a major surprise in 1969. While it is now clear that this UV excess is caused by an o…
A Binary Model for the UV-upturn of Elliptical Galaxies
Z. Han, Ph. Podsiadlowski, A. E. Lynas-Gray +1
The discovery of an excess of light in the far-ultraviolet (UV) in 1969 in elliptical galaxies was a major surprise. While it is now clear that this UV excess (UV-upturn) is probab…
Structure and evolution of low-mass W UMa type systems -- II. with angular momentum loss
L. Li, Z. Han, F. Zhang
In a preceding paper, using Eggleton's evolution code we have discussed the structure and evolution of low-mass W UMa type contact binaries without angular momentum loss (AML). The…
Cataclysmic Variables with Evolved Secondaries and the Progenitors of AM CVn Stars
Ph. Podsiadlowski, Z. Han, S. Rappaport
We present the results of a systematic study of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and related systems, combining detailed binary-population synthesis (BPS) models with a grid of 120 bina…
