Born to Be Wide: The Distribution of Wide Binaries in the Field and Soft Binaries in Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Most stars, binaries, and higher-multiplicity systems are thought to form in stellar clusters and associations that later dissociate. Very wide binaries can be easily disrupted in clusters due to dynamical evaporation (soft binaries) and/or tidal ...

Binary stars in Praesepe [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1992 AbstractIn open clusters the scatter about the single-star main sequence is usually negligible. However, unresolved binary systems are brighter and redder than single stars, and thus some ‘stars’ appear shifted away from the main sequence. We make very simple models of the Praesepe cluster, and find evidence that low-mass systems prefer independent ...

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

Binary Be Stars and Be Binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1992 Two hypotheses have been put forward for the rôle of binarity in Be stars: (1) All Be stars are interacting binaries. (2) Roughly one-half of the observed Be stars are post-mass exchange binaries with compact companions. Contrary to (1), (2) does not attempt to explain also the existence of disks in Be stars.

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

Hypervelocity Collisions of Binary Stars at the Galactic Centre [PDF]
, 2006 Recent surveys have identified seven hypervelocity stars (HVSs) in the halo of the Milky Way. Most of these stars may have originated from the breakup of binary star systems by the nuclear black hole SgrA*.

Binary Neutron Stars with Arbitrary Spins in Numerical Relativity [PDF]
, 2015 We present a code to construct initial data for binary neutron star systems in which the stars are rotating. Our code, based on a formalism developed by Tichy, allows for arbitrary rotation axes of the neutron stars and is able to achieve rotation rates ...

Ultracompact binary stars [PDF]
Physics Today, 2006 Double stars with tight, rapid orbits enable astronomers to study issues ranging from binary-star evolution to the internal structure of white dwarfs and neutron stars. In addition, they may emit directly observable gravitational waves.

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 Low and intermediate mass stars leave the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) when the mass in their H-rich envelope is less than about 0.01 M⊙, and the high mass loss drops several orders of magnitude. The central star rapidly evolves to the left part of the HR diagram along a track of constant luminosity (e.g. Schönberner 1983).

Galaxies, 2018 The increase in discovered close binary central stars of planetary nebulae is leading to a sufficiently large sample to begin to make broader conclusions about the effect of close binary stars on common envelope evolution and planetary nebula formation ...
