How negative feedback and the ambient environment limit the influence of recombination in common envelope evolution
Luke Chamandy, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Eric G. Blackman +5
We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations to study recombination and ionization during the common envelope (CE) phase of binary evolution, and develop techniques to track the ionic…
NGC 6302: The Tempestuous Life of a Butterfly
Bruce Balick, Lars Borchert, Joel H. Kastner +4
NGC 6302 (The ''Butterfly Nebula'') is an extremely energetic bipolar nebula whose central star is among the most massive, hottest, and presumably rapidly evolving of all central s…
Helical dynamo growth at modest versus extreme magnetic Reynolds numbers
Hongzhe Zhou, Eric Blackman
Understanding large-scale magnetic field growth in astrophysical objects is a persistent challenge. We tackle the long-standing question of how much helical large-scale dynamo grow…
The messy death of a multiple star system and the resulting planetary nebula as observed by JWST
Orsola De Marco, Muhammad Akashi, Stavros Akras +66
Planetary nebulae (PNe), the ejected envelopes of red giant stars, provide us with a history of the last, mass-losing phases of 90 percent of stars initially more massive than the…
Why the observed spin evolution of older-than-solar like stars might not require a dynamo mode change
Ketevan Kotorashvili, Eric G. Blackman, James E. Owen
The spin evolution of main sequence stars has long been of interest for basic stellar evolution, stellar aging, stellar activity, and consequent influence on companion planets. Obs…
Morphology of Shocked Lateral Outflows in Colliding Hydrodynamic Flows
R. N. Markwick, A. Frank, J. Carroll-Nellenback +6
Supersonic interacting flows occurring in phenomena such as protostellar jets give rise to strong shocks, and have been demonstrated in several laboratory experiments. To study suc…
