Nucleosynthesis of Binary-stripped Stars [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The cosmic origin of the elements, the fundamental chemical building blocks of the universe, is still uncertain. Binary interactions play a key role in the evolution of many massive stars, yet their impact on chemical yields is poorly understood.

Orbital Elements of visual binary stars with very short arcs: With application to double stars from the 1829 southern double star catalog of James Dunlop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Binary double stars are those whose binding energies are less than zero. Obtaining binary star orbits from short arcs has been a long-standing problem in astrophysics.

Wide binary stars in the Galactic field : a statistical approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This thesis focuses on the statistical properties of wide binary (WB) star systems in the Galactic field. With projected separations larger than 200 AU and, consequently, having very low binding energies, WB are sensitive probes of the Galactic ...

New spectroscopic binary companions of giant stars and updated metallicity distribution for binary systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report the discovery of 24 spectroscopic binary companions to giant stars. We fully constrain the orbital solution for 6 of these systems. We cannot unambiguously derive the orbital elements for the remaining stars because the phase coverage is ...

Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

Radial-velocity measurements of subdwarf B stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Subdwarf B (sdB) stars are hot, subluminous stars which are thought to be core-helium burning with thin hydrogen envelopes. The mechanism by which these stars lose their envelopes has been controversial, but it has been argued that binary star ...

Widely separated binary systems of very low-mass stars

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper we review some recent detections of wide binary brown dwarf systems and discuss them in the context of the multiplicity properties of very low-mass stars and brown ...

The GALAH survey: multiple stars and our Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Context. Binary stellar systems form a large fraction of the Galaxy’s stars. They are useful as laboratories for studying the physical processes taking place within stars, and must be correctly taken into account when observations of stars are used to ...

Mass Transfer in Binary Stars using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Despite numerous efforts to better understand binary star evolution, some aspects of it remain poorly constrained. In particular, the evolution of eccentric binaries has remained elusive mainly because the Roche lobe formalism derived for circular ...
