A Spectroscopic and Interferometric Study of W Serpentis Stars. I. Circumbinary Outflow in the Interacting Binary W Serpentis [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalW Serpentis is an eclipsing binary system and the prototype of the Serpentid class of variable stars. These are interacting binaries experiencing intense mass transfer and mass loss.

Shocks and Photoionization of the Inner 650 au Jet of the Interacting Binary Star R Aquarii from Multiwavelength Hubble Space Telescope Observations [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Astrophysical jets are present in a range of environments, including young stellar objects, X-ray binaries, and active galactic nuclei, but their formation is still not fully understood.

The 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 ...

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

The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS to investigate commonly used prescriptions for the determination of mass transfer stability in close binaries and the orbital separations after stable mass transfer.

Stellar Properties of Observed Stars Stripped in Binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Massive stars (∼8–25 M _⊙ ) stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes via binary interaction are thought to be the main progenitors for merging neutron stars and stripped-envelope supernovae.

Photometric Observations of Eccentric Accretion in Algol-type Binary Stars [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012 Some Algol-type interacting binary stars exhibit strange photometric variations that can be phase-dependent and/or secular. This paper discusses the possibility of explaining these observed variations as resulting from an accretion structure eclipsing ...

Roadmap on the theoretical work of BinaMIcS [PDF]
, 2013 We review the different theoretical challenges concerning magnetism in interacting binary or multiple stars that will be studied in the BinaMIcS (Binarity and Magnetic Interactions in various classes of Stars) project during the corresponding ...

Eta Carinae in the Context of the Most Massive Stars [PDF]
, 2009 Eta Car, with its historical outbursts, visible ejecta and massive, variable winds, continues to challenge both observers and modelers. In just the past five years over 100 papers have been published on this fascinating object.
