Tidal Synchronization Trapping in Stars and Planets with Convective Envelopes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tidal torques can alter the spins of tidally interacting stars and planets, usually over shorter timescales than the tidal damping of orbital separations or eccentricities.

Cyclical Period Changes in Cataclysmic Variables: A Statistical Study

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the results of a statistical study of cyclical period changes in cataclysmic variables (CVs). Assuming the third-body hypothesis as the cause of period changes, we estimate the third-body mass, m _3 , and its separation from the binary, a _3 ...

The evolution of massive stars: a selection of facts and questions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2004
In the present paper we discuss a selection of facts and questions related to observations and evolutionary calculations of massive single stars and massive stars in interacting binaries. We focus on the surface chemical abundances, the role of stellar winds, the early Be-stars, the high mass X-ray binaries, the effects of rotation on stellar evolution.

The Extremely Metal-poor SN 2023ufx: A Local Analog to High-redshift Type II Supernovae

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present extensive observations of the Type II supernova (SN II) SN 2023ufx, which is likely the most metal-poor SN II observed to date. It exploded in the outskirts of a low-metallicity ( Z _host ∼ 0.1 Z _⊙ ) dwarf ( M _g = −13.39 ± 0.16 mag, r _proj ∼

The Evolution of Hypervelocity Supernova Survivors and the Outcomes of Interacting Double White Dwarf Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The recent prediction and discovery of hypervelocity supernova survivors has provided strong evidence that the “dynamically driven double-degenerate double-detonation” (D ^6 ) Type Ia supernova scenario occurs in nature.
