Simulations of common-envelope evolution in binary stellar systems: physical models and numerical techniques

FK Röpke, O De Marco - Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics, 2023 - Springer
When the primary star in a close binary system evolves into a giant and engulfs its
companion, its core and the companion temporarily orbit each other inside a common …

Gamma-ray binaries and related systems

G Dubus - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2013 - Springer
After initial claims and a long hiatus, it is now established that several binary stars emit high-
(0.1–100 GeV) and very high-energy (> 100 GeV) gamma rays. A new class has emerged …

MPI-AMRVAC for solar and astrophysics

O Porth, C ** atmospheres of hot gas planets in the solar neighborhood
M Salz, S Czesla, PC Schneider, J Schmitt - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2016 - aanda.org
Absorption of high-energy radiation in planetary thermospheres is generally believed to lead
to the formation of planetary winds. The resulting mass-loss rates can affect the evolution …
