Constraining the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables via the Masses and Accretion Rates of their Underlying White Dwarfs

A. F. Pala, B. T. Gänsicke, D. Belloni +28

We report on the masses (), effective temperatures () and secular mean accretion rates () of 43 cataclysmic variable (CV) wh…

Stochastic Low Frequency Variability in 3-Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamical Models of Massive Star Envelopes

William C. Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang

Increasing main sequence stellar luminosity with stellar mass leads to the eventual dominance of radiation pressure in stellar envelope hydrostatic balance. As the luminosity appro…

Discovery of a double detonation thermonuclear supernova progenitor

Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Jan van Roestel +12

We present the discovery of a new double detonation progenitor system consisting of a hot subdwarf B (sdB) binary with a white dwarf companion with an P=76.34179(2) min orbital per…

Numerical Simulations of Convective 3-Dimensional Red Supergiant Envelopes

Jared A. Goldberg, Yan-Fei Jiang, Lars Bildsten

We explore the three-dimensional properties of convective, luminous (), Hydrogen-rich envelopes of Red Supergiants (RSGs) based on radiation hydrody…

Mass Transfer and Stellar Evolution of the White Dwarfs in AM CVn Binaries

Tin Long Sunny Wong, Lars Bildsten

We calculate the stellar evolution of both white dwarfs (WDs) in AM CVn binaries with orbital periods of minutes. We focus on the cases where the do…

Discovery and characterization of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems

J. van Roestel, T. Kupfer, M. J. Green +19

AM CVn systems are ultra-compact, helium-rich, accreting binaries with degenerate or semi-degenerate donors. We report the discovery of five new eclipsing AM CVn systems with orbit…
