1 Boris Gänsicke Binar Stars (a small selection) STFC Summer School 2008
2 Wh do we care about binar stars? - 50% of all stars are in binaries - (some kind of) white dwarf binaries are SNIa progenitors - binar neutron star mergers make short -ra bursts - Low-mass X-ra binaries, black hole binaries, milli-second pulsars, cataclsmic variables, smbiotic stars All compact binaries share some interesting phsics - go through at least one phase - lose orbital angular momentum
3 Common envelope evolution Willems & Kolb (2004)
4 Common envelope hdrodnamical models courtes of E. Sandquist
5 Planetar nebula: spherical & bipolar
6 Common envelope evolution angular momentum loss Willems & Kolb (2004)
