A Common Envelope Binary Star Origin of Long Gamma-ray Bursts
Christopher A. Tout, Dayal T. Wickramasinghe, Herbert H. -B. Lau +2
The stellar origin of gamma-ray bursts can be explained by the rapid release of energy in a highly collimated, extremely relativistic jet. This in turn appears to require a rapidly…
Spin Angular Momentum Evolution of the Long Period Algols
A. Dervişoğlu, Christopher A. Tout, C. İbanoğlu
We consider the spin angular momentum evolution of the accreting components of Algol-type binary stars. In wider Algols the accretion is through a disc so that the accreted materia…
Does GD 356 have a Terrestrial Planetary Companion?
Dayal T. Wickramasinghe, Jay Farihi, Christopher A. Tout +2
GD 356 is unique among magnetic white dwarfs because it shows Zeeman-split Balmer lines in pure emission. The lines originate from a region of nearly uniform field strength (delta…
