Triple Evolution Pathways to Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binaries: Insights from V404 Cygni
Cheyanne Shariat, Smadar Naoz, Kareem El-Badry +5
A recent discovery shows that V404 Cygni, a prototypical black hole low-mass X-ray binary (BH-LMXB) is a hierarchical triple: the BH and donor star are orbited by a M$_{\odot…
Eating Planets for Lunch and Dinner: Signatures of Planet Consumption by Evolving Stars
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, B. Scott Gaudi +1
Exoplanets have been observed around stars at all stages of stellar evolution, in many cases orbiting in configurations that will eventually lead to the planets being engulfed or c…
The Fate of Binaries in the Galactic Center: The Mundane and the Exotic
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, Andrea M. Ghez +6
The Galactic Center (GC) is dominated by the gravity of a super-massive black hole (SMBH), Sagittarius A, and is suspected to contain a sizable population of binary stars. Such…
Unseen companions of V Hya inferred from periodic ejections
Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris +1
A recent study using observations found periodic, high-speed, collimated ejections (or "bullets") from the star V Hya. The authors of that study propos…
A-type Stars, the Destroyers of Worlds: The lives and deaths of Jupiters in evolving stellar binaries
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, B. Scott Gaudi
Hot Jupiters (HJs), gas giant planets orbiting their host stars with periods on the order of days, commonly occur in the Galaxy, including relatively massive ( ,…
Merging Binaries in the Galactic Center: The eccentric Kozai-Lidov mechanism with stellar evolution
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, Andrea M. Ghez +4
Most, if not all, stars in the field are born in binary configurations or higher multiplicity systems. In dense stellar environment such as the Galactic Center (GC), many stars are…
