2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects
Madeline Overton, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1
Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is…
Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4
Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_…
Disc breaking through forced eccentricity growth
Madeline Overton, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow +1
Motivated by misaligned discs observed in eccentric orbit Be/X-ray binaries, we examine the evolution of a retrograde disc around one component of an eccentric binary with hydrodyn…
Formation of Be star decretion discs through boundary layer effects
Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +3
Be stars are rapidly rotating, with angular frequency around of their Keplerian break up frequency, as a result of significant accretion during the earlier stellar evolut…
The Rise of Nova V1674 Herculis
Robert M. Quimby, Brian D. Metzger, Ken J. Shen +3
Observational constraints on classical novae are heavily biased to phases near optical peak and later because of the simple fact that novae are not typically discovered until they…
