The Magnetic Fields of White Dwarfs in Cataclysmic Variables
Gordon Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, Christopher Tout +1
The origin of magnetic fields in isolated and binary white dwarfs has been investigated in a series of recent papers. One proposal is that magnetic fields are generated through an…
Origin of magnetic fields in cataclysmic variables
Gordon P. Briggs, Lilia Ferrario, Christopher A. Tout +1
In a series of recent papers, it has been proposed that high field magnetic white dwarfs are the result of close binary interaction and merging. Population synthesis calculations h…
The Cosmic Microwave Background and the Stellar Initial Mass Function
Adam S. Jermyn, Charles L. Steinhardt, Christopher A. Tout
We argue that an increased temperature in star-forming clouds alters the stellar initial mass function to be more bottom-light than in the Milky Way. At redshifts , he…
Extending Common Envelope Simulations from Roche Lobe Overflow to the Nebular Phase
Thomas A. Reichardt, Orsola De Marco, Roberto Iaconi +2
We have simulated a common envelope interaction of a 0.88-M, 90-R, red giant branch star and a 0.6-M, compact companion with the smoothed particle hyd…
Post-common envelope binary systems experiencing helium-shell driven stable mass transfer
Ghina M. Halabi, Robert G. Izzard, Christopher A. Tout
We evolve stellar models to study the common envelope (CE) interaction of an early asymptotic giant branch star of initial mass with a companion star of mass ran…
Tidal Interactions in Post Common-Envelope sdB Binaries
Holly P. Preece, Christopher A. Tout, C. Simon Jeffery
Over half of all observed hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars are found in binaries, and over half of these are found in close configurations with orbital periods of 10 or less.…
