Fast rotating stars resulting from binary evolution will often appear to be single [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Rapidly rotating stars are readily produced in binary systems. An accreting star in a binary system can be spun up by mass accretion and quickly approach the break-up limit.

Hypervelocity binary stars: smoking gun of massive binary black holes [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J.666:L89-L92,2007, 2007
The hypervelocity stars recently found in the Galactic halo are expelled from the Galactic center through interactions between binary stars and the central massive black hole or between single stars and a hypothetical massive binary black hole.

Star formation environments and the distribution of binary separations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We have carried out K-band speckle observations of a sample of 114 X-ray selected weak-line T Tauri stars in the nearby Scorpius-Centaurus OB association. We find that for binary T Tauri stars closely associated to the early type stars in Upper Scorpius,

Asteroseismology of binary stars and a compilation of core overshoot and rotational frequency values of OB stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
After a brief introduction into the asteroseismic modelling of stars, we provide a compilation of the current seismic estimates of the core overshooting parameter and of the rotational frequency of single and binary massive stars. These important stellar

The Evolution of Compact Binary Star Systems [PDF]

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2014
We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). Mergings of compact-star binaries are expected to be the most important sources for forthcoming gravitational-wave

Modelling of W UMa-type variable stars

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2010
W Ursae Majoris (W UMa)-type variable stars are over-contact eclipsing binary stars. To understand how these systems form and evolve requires observations spanning many years, followed by detailed models of as many of them as possible.

V1507 CYGNI (HD187399): A Highly Evolved, Enigmatic Interacting Binary System with an Eccentric Orbit

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The properties of the interacting, eccentric orbit binary V1507 Cyg (HD187399) are examined with spectra that cover wavelengths from 0.63–0.68 μ m. The spectrum of the brightest star is similar to that of the B8 I star β Ori, although with absorption ...

NY Bootes: An Active Deep and Low-mass-ratio Contact Binary with a Cool Companion in a Hierarchical Triple System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The first detailed photometric and spectroscopic study of G-type short-period binary NY Boo is presented. The radial velocity curve was obtained by the cross-correlation function (CCF) method based on LAMOST and SDSS spectra, which derived its mass ratio

Stability analysis of the spin evolution fix points in inspiraling compact binaries with black hole, neutron star, gravastar, or boson star components [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. D 103, 084025 (2021), 2022
Based on the secular spin evolution of black holes, neutron stars, gravastars, or boson stars in precessing compact binaries on eccentric orbit, we identify the aligned and more generic coplanar configurations of the spins and orbital angular momentum as fix points.

POSYDON: A General-purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-evolution Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar system, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions. Interacting binaries are also important astrophysical laboratories for the
