About ten percent of Sun-like (1–2 M⊙) stars will engulf a 1–10 MJ planet as they expand
during the red giant branch (RGB) or asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution …

When collapse of the iron core in a massive red or yellow supergiant does not lead to an
energetic supernova, a significant fraction of the convective hydrogen envelope will fall in …

During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of
their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events are …

Hypernebulae are inflated by accretion-powered winds accompanying hyper-Eddington
mass transfer from an evolved post-main-sequence star onto a black hole or neutron star …

Abstract N6946-BH1 (BH1) is the first plausible candidate for a failed supernova (SN), a
peculiar event in which a massive star disappears without the expected bright SN …

We present the S-PLUS Transient Extension Program (STEP): a supernova and fast
transient survey conducted in the southern hemisphere using data from the Southern …

I compared with each other and with observations three energy sources to power
intermediate luminosity optical transients (ILOTs) and conclude that only jets can power …

Context. V1309 Sco is an example of a red nova, a product of the merger between non-
compact stars. V1309 Sco is particularly important within the class of red novae due to the …

Binary mass transfer can occur at high rates due to rapid expansion of the donor's envelope.
In the case where mass transfer is unstable, the binary can rapidly shrink its orbit and lead to …

A substantial fraction of stars can be found in wide binaries with projected separations
between $\sim10^ 2$ and $10^ 5\,\rm AU $. In the standard lore of binary physics, these …
