evolution (CEE). We highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas …

[HTML][HTML] Binary stars in the new millennium

X Chen, Z Liu, Z Han - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
Binary stars are as common as single stars. Binary stars are of immense importance to
astrophysicists because that they allow us to determine the masses of the stars independent …

A circumbinary disc in the final stages of common envelope and the core-degenerate scenario for Type Ia supernovae

A Kashi, N Soker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We study the final stages of the common envelope (CE) evolution and find that a substantial
fraction of the ejected mass does not reach the escape velocity. To reach this conclusion we …

The origin and shaping of planetary nebulae: putting the binary hypothesis to the test

O De Marco - Publications of the Astronomical Society of the …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Planetary nebulae (PNs) are circumstellar gas ejected during an intense mass-losing phase
in the lives of asymptotic giant branch stars. PNs have a stunning variety of shapes, most of …

The Hα surface brightness–radius relation: a robust statistical distance indicator for planetary nebulae

DJ Frew, QA Parker, IS Bojičić - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Measuring the distances to Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) has been an intractable
problem for many decades. We have now established a robust optical statistical distance …

A catalog of potential post–common envelope binaries

MU Kruckow, PG Neunteufel, R Di Stefano… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a catalog containing 839 candidate post–common envelope systems. Common
envelope evolution is very important in stellar astrophysics, particularly in the context of very …

Binary planetary nebulae nuclei towards the Galactic bulge-I. Sample discovery, period distribution, and binary fraction

B Miszalski, A Acker, AFJ Moffat, QA Parker… - Astronomy & …, 2009 - aanda.org
Binarity has been hypothesised to play an important, if not ubiquitous, role in the formation of
planetary nebulae (PNe). Yet there remains a severe paucity of known binary central stars …

Binary stars as the key to understanding planetary nebulae

D Jones, HMJ Boffin - Nature Astronomy, 2017 - nature.com
Planetary nebulae are traditionally considered to represent the final evolutionary stage of all
intermediate-mass stars (∼ 0.7–8 M☉). Recent evidence seems to contradict this picture. In …

[HTML][HTML] Post common envelope binaries from SDSS-XII. The orbital period distribution

AN Gómez-Morán, BT Gänsicke, MR Schreiber… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
Context. The complexity of the common-envelope phase and of magnetic stellar wind
braking currently limits our understanding of close binary evolution. Because of their …

Simulations of common envelope evolution in triple systems: circumstellar case

H Glanz, HB Perets - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The dynamical evolution of triple stellar systems could induce the formation of compact
binaries and binary mergers. Common envelope (CE) evolution, which plays a major role in …
