3 Observed double white dwarfs WD , Adapted from Maxted et al., 2002

5 Common envelope Average orbital separation: 7 R Typical progenitor: M c > 0.3 M R 100 R
6 Common envelope
7 Envelope ejection Classical α-common envelope (spiral-in): orbital energy is used to expel envelope (Webbink, 1984): [ G M1f M 2 U bind = α CE G M ] 1i M 2 2 a f 2 a i α CE is the common-envelope efficiency parameter γ-envelope ejection (EE, spiral-in not necessary): envelope ejection with angular-momentum balance (Nelemans et al., 2000): J i J f J i = γ CE M 1i M 1f M 1i + M 2 γ CE 1.5 is the efficiency parameter
8 Envelope ejection Assumption: Envelope ejection occurs much faster than nuclear evolution, hence: core mass does not grow during envelope ejection no accretion by companion during envelope ejection From Eggleton models: White-dwarf mass fixes evolutionary state of progenitor Giant radius determines orbital period of progenitor Envelope binding energy dictates what α CE is needed
9 Progenitor models Eggleton code 199 singe-star models M RGB AGB
10 Progenitor models R provides P orb at onset of EE RGB AGB
11 Progenitor models Envelope U bind provides α CE RGB AGB

13 Confusogram Confusogram Observation: M wd1, M wd2, P dwd Yes Possible progenitor: M wd1, M 2, Progenitor model: M 2, R 2, M c, U b R 2 = R max when M c = M wd2? No Not a progenitor P prog (M 1,M 2,R 2) P prog P dwd : acceptable α/γ? Yes No Accept this model as a possible progenitor Reject as progenitor Marc van der Sluys How the Giant lost its mantle and became a Dwarf NUTGM October 19, 2006
14 α-ce results Accept cases with: 0.1<α ce <10 Assume no errors in observed masses
15 α-ce results Accept cases with: 0.1<α ce <10 Introduce errors in observed masses: ± 0.05 M
16 Conservative first mass transfer Maximum P orb after stable mass transfer with q i = 0.62 (Nelemans et al., 2000) Only 5 systems have CE solutions with P orb < P max
17 Conservative first mass transfer CE solutions that may be formed by stable mass transfer Conservative mass transfer: M tot and J orb fixed One free parameter: q i
18 Conservative mass transfer: M, P 570 binary models, computed to match pre-ce systems spiral-in stable Results: 39% dynamical 18% contact 43% DWD
19 Conservative mass transfer: q, t 1414 fits 0957, 1101, 1704b and 2209 nearly fit Out of ten systems, 1 can be explained, 4 are close
20 Conclusions Conservative MT: More accurate models change α-ce only slightly After stable mass transfer, white-dwarf primaries have too low mass and too long orbital periods We can reproduce perhaps 1 4 out of 10 systems, all with α ce > 1.6 Conservative mass transfer cannot explain the observed double white dwarfs
21 Angular-momentum balance Average specific angular momentum of the system: J i J f J i = γ s M 1i M 1f M tot,i Specific angular momentum of the accretor: [ J i J f = γ a 1 M ( )] tot,i M1f M 1i exp J i M tot,f M 2 Specific angular momentum of the donor: J i J f J i = γ d M 1i M 1f M tot,f M 2i M 1i
22 Models Number of progenitor models: Filters: 10+1 observed systems 199 progenitor models in our grid 11 variations in observed mass: 0.05, 0.04,..., M total: P 198 n=1 n 2.4 million dynamical MT: R > R BGB and q > q crit age: τ 1 < τ 2 < 13 Gyr EE-parameter: 0.1 < α ce, γ < 10 Candidate progenitors left:

29 Conclusions Conservative mass transfer cannot explain the observed double white dwarfs Unstable envelope ejection can do this Several EE descriptions can reconstruct observed masses and periods γ s γ s and γ d γ a can in addition explain most observed cooling-age differences
