The impact of companions on stellar evolution

摘要: Stellar astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on stellar evolution. New discoveries, many thanks to systematic time-domain surveys, have underlined role binary star interactions in a range astrophysical events, including some that were previously interpreted as due uniquely single Here, we review classical phenomena such type Ia supernovae, and discuss new intermediate luminosity transients, gravitational wave-producing double black holes, or interaction between stars their planets. Finally, examine reassessment well-known light interpretations include both stars, for example supernovae Ib Ic luminous blue variables. At same time contextualise discoveries within framework nomenclature corpus knowledge The last decade has heralded an era revival astrophysics complexity observations is with interplay scenarios. next decade, advent massive projects Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, Square Kilometre Array, James Webb Space Telescope sophisticated computational methods, will see birth expanded evolution repercussions other areas galactic nucleosynthesis.
