A radial velocity survey for post-common-envelope Wolf–Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae: first results and discovery of the close binary nucleus of NGC 5189 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The formation of Wolf-Rayet central stars of planetary nebulae ([WR] CSPNe) whose spectroscopic appearance mimics massive WR stars remains poorly understood. Least understood is the nature and frequency of binary companions to [WR] CSPNe that may explain

Identifying close binary central stars of PN with Kepler [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Six planetary nebulae (PN) are known in the Kepler space telescope field of view, three newly identified. Of the 5 central stars of PN with useful Kepler data, one, J193110888+4324577, is a short-period, post common envelope binary exhibiting ...

Surveying Planetary Nebulae Central Stars for Close Binaries: Constraining Evolution of Central Stars Based on Binary Parameters

open access: yesGalaxies, 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 ...

From Dinuclear Systems to Close Binary Stars: Application to Mass Transfer

open access: yesActa Physica Polonica B, 2018
Applying the microscopic nuclear physics ideas to macroscopic stellar systems, we study the evolution of the compact di-stars in mass asymmetry (transfer) coordinate.

CLOSE BINARY SYSTEMS ON LATE EVOLUTIONARY STAGES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2017
Observational and theoretical progress in investigations of close binary stars allow to understand the nature and evolution of many types of close binary systems containing peculiar components: Wolf-Rayet stars, white dwarfs neutron stars and black holes.

Orbital Period Variations in HT Cas: Evidence for Additional Angular Momentum Loss and a High-eccentricity Giant Planet

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a timing study of the short-period eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CV) HT Cas. Based on new eclipse times derived from our photometric monitoring and archival optical data, combined with historical timings, spanning ∼42 yr, we detect a secular

Asteroseismic effects in close binary stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Turbulent processes in the convective envelopes of the sun and stars have been shown to be a source of internal acoustic excitations. In single stars, acoustic waves having frequencies below a certain cutoff frequency propagate nearly adiabatically and ...

Merger Conditions of Population III Protostar Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Massive close binary stars with extremely small separations have been observed, and they are possible progenitors of gravitational-wave sources. The evolution of massive binaries in the protostellar accretion stage is key to understanding their formation

THE CLOSE BINARY PROPERTIES OF MASSIVE STARS IN THE MILKY WAY AND LOW-METALLICITY MAGELLANIC CLOUDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In order to understand the rates and properties of Type Ia and Type Ib/c supernovae, X-ray binaries, gravitational wave sources, and gamma-ray bursts as a function of galactic environment and cosmic age, it is imperative that we measure how the close ...

Orbital Decay in an Accreting and Eclipsing 13.7 Minute Orbital Period Binary with a Luminous Donor

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely originated as a post–common envelope carbon–oxygen (CO) white dwarf, and a warm
