Common Envelope Evolution and Implications for Neutron Star Merger Rates |
|
Abstract |
Common envelope is a short-timescale phase in lives of close binaries that takes place when one of the binary companions starts an unstable mass transfer. This stage plays a crucial role in formation of the double neutron stars that can merge within a Hubble time. In this talk, I will review the basics of the common envelope physics, as well as recent studies which could affect the merger rates. |
