An analytic model for mass transfer in binaries with arbitrary eccentricity, with applications to triple-star systems
Adrian S. Hamers, Fani Dosopoulou
Most studies of mass transfer in binary systems assume circular orbits at the onset of Roche lobe overflow. However, there are theoretical and observational indications that mass t…
Catching a planet: A tidal capture origin for the exomoon candidate Kepler 1625b I
Adrian S. Hamers, Simon F. Portegies Zwart
The (yet-to-be confirmed) discovery of a Neptune-sized moon around the ~3.2 Jupiter-mass planet in Kepler 1625 puts interesting constraints on the formation of the system. In parti…
Shrinking orbits in hierarchical quadruple star systems
Adrian S. Hamers
The distribution of the inner orbital periods of solar-type main-sequence (MS) triple star systems is known to be peaked at a few days, and this has been attributed to tidal evolut…
Stability of exomoons around the Kepler transiting circumbinary planets
Adrian S. Hamers, Maxwell X. Cai, Javier Roa +1
The Kepler mission has detected a number of transiting circumbinary planets (CBPs). Although currently not detected, exomoons could be orbiting some of these CBPs, and they might b…
The impact of vector resonant relaxation on the evolution of binaries near a massive black hole: implications for gravitational wave sources
Adrian S. Hamers, Ben Bar-Or, Cristobal Petrovich +1
Binaries within the sphere of influence of a massive black hole (MBH) in galactic nuclei are susceptible to the Lidov-Kozai (LK) mechanism, which can drive orbits to high eccentric…
On the rates of type Ia supernovae originating from white dwarf collisions in quadruple star systems
Adrian S. Hamers
We consider the evolution of stellar hierarchical quadruple systems in the 2+2 (two binaries orbiting each other's barycentre) and 3+1 (triple orbited by a fourth star) configurati…
