Why there are no jets from cataclysmic variable stars
Jean-Pierre Lasota, Noam Soker
We argue that the recent thermal model of jet launching by young stellar objects, when applied to system containing disk-accreting white dwarfs naturally explain the otherwise asto…
The Egg Nebula (AFGL 2688): Deepening Enigma
Joel H. Kastner, Noam Soker
Recent observations of the Egg Nebula (AFGL 2688), obtained at ever-increasing spatial and spectral resolution, have revealed a perplexing array of phenomena. Many of these phenome…
Influence of Planets on Parent Stars: Angular Momentum
Noam Soker
I review some possible processes by which planets and brown dwarfs can influence the evolution of their parent evolved stars. As sun-like stars evolve on the red giant branch (RGB)…
Shaping Planetary Nebulae and Related Objects
Noam Soker
I review some open questions and other aspects concerning the shaping of planetary nebulae (PNs) and related objects. I attribute the non-spherical structures of PNs to binary comp…
Stellar structure and mass loss during the early post asymptotic giant branch
Noam Soker, Amos Harpaz
Late asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and early post-AGB stars which are progenitors of planetary nebulae lose mass at extremely high rate, in what is termed a superwind. We show that…
Is the Energy Balance Paradox Solved?
A. Harpaz, N. Soker
The question of what is the source of the energy carried by the radiation is discussed. The case of a hyperbolic motion is analyzed, describing the solutions suggested in the past…
