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.

Star-disc interactions and binary star formation [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1991 The possibility of a large, massive protostellar accretion disc playing a role in the formation of binary stars by enabling the capture of a passing star within a dense star-forming region is analyzed. It is found that capture rates are too low to play a major role in all known star-forming environments, particularly when the probability of prior disc ...

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]
, 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]
, 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 ...

Interacting Binaries as Be Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987 AbstractSemidetached close binary stars of the Algol type often have primary components of spectral type A0 or earlier and display emission at Hα (sometimes also at higher Balmer lines). They are therefore Be stars. Many binaries of this type are not eclipsing and must look like “ordinary” Be stars.

Be Stars as Interacting Binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1982 At the last IAU Symposium on Be stars held in Bass River, MA in 1975, several of us (including P. Harmanec, M. Plavec, R.S. Polidan, and myself) suggested that Be stars are mass transfer binaries and represent the higher mass counterparts to the familiar Algol systems.

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