HELP

0 = Low mass MS (M<0.7 Msun) / 1 = MS (M>0.7 Msun)
2 = HG / 3 = GB
4 = CHeB / 5 = E-AGB
6 = TP-AGB / 7 = He_MS
8 = He-HG / 9 = He-GB
10 = HeWD / 11 = CO WD
12 = ONeWD / 13 = NS
14 = BH / 15 = massless remnant


ZAMS

Systems that form 1 WD ⇒ M1 vs. a

Systems are lost with initial mass between 9-10 Msun, a = 200 Rsun
-System below: BrB Ex: 9.7+7.4 Msun a = 49.5, per = 9.77
-System above: Br-Bc(B) Ex: 9.7+7.4 Msun a = 327.7, per = 166.4
-System in the region: Br (but star remains too massive) Ex: 9.7+7.4 Msun a = 233.4, per = 100

First WD

Systems that form 1 WD ⇒ Mwd1 vs. a

Case B systems, with Mwd1 = 0.4-0.5
-a ~ 200 Rsun Ex: 3+0.8 Msun a = 24 Rsun
general these systems: M1 = 2.7-3.15/ M2 = 0.7-1/ a = 10-30 Rsun/ per = 5-10 days
-a ~ 1 Rsun Ex: 3+1.1 Msun a = 20.9 Rsun, per = 5.4 days
general these systems: M1 = 2.7-3.15/ M2 = 1.1-1.6/ a = 10-30 Rsun/ per = 5-10 days
Secondary fills Roche lobe when primary still He-star. brings them in a closer orbit. And are in a close orbit when primary becomes a WD.


Case A systems
-a = 20-200 Rsun Ex: 3+2.2 Msun a = 10 Rsun
general these systems: M1 = 1-4/ M2 = 0.8-2.6/ a = 5-12 Rsun/ per = 0.8-2.1 days
-a = 0.1-1 Rsun Ex: 2+1.6 Msun a = 7.4 Rsun
general these systems: M1 = 1.4-3.4/ M2 = 1.1-2.4/ a = 7-10 Rsun/ per = 1.2-1.5 days
When primary fills its Roche lobe, secondary starts filling its as well ⇒ Contact systems ⇒ double spiral-in ⇒ primary: He WD, secondary: He-MS


Comparison with examples of the Brussels-group
Ex: 3.36+3.25 Msun per = 1.08 days
⇒ Also case A mass transfer, but results in a contact system (system does not survive)

Ex: 7.90+4.61 Msun per = 1.41 days
⇒ Also case A mass transfer, but coelescence (system does not survive), based on models De Mink +07

Ex: 9.95+8.87 Msun per = 82.3 days
⇒ Case B mass transfer. Primary becomes a NS

Ex: 5.96+4.93 Msun per = 381 days
⇒ Pirmary: Case C(B), Secondary: Case B (unstable): merge

Ex: 7.72+6.68 Msun per = 1740 days
⇒ Pirmary: Case C, Secondary: Case B (unstable): merge



Comparison with examples of the SeBa-group
Ex: 2.4+1.7 Msun per = 4.61 days
⇒ Case Br (P), case C (unstable): afterwards He-MS (P) and He-subgiant (S) in a close orbit. Secondary fill again Roche, which is unstable.⇒ WD. Primary fills Roche lobe stable ⇒ Merge : Semi-reversal

Ex: 2.6+1.5 Msun per = 4 days
⇒ Case Br (P), case C (unstable): afterwards He-MS (P) and He-subgiant (S) in a close orbit. Secondary fill again Roche, which is unstable. Merger.⇒ Semi-reversal

Ex: 6.35+4.0 Msun per = 25.9 days, a = 80
⇒ BrBr (last Br when He-giant) BcBc ⇒ Forms double WD systems

Ex: 1.35+1.18 Msun per = 1114 days, a = 616
⇒ C (unstable)- Bc: Forms COWD+ HeWD in a close orbit (falls below region of stable systems)

Ex: 6.6+3.7 Msun per = 35.6 days, a = 99
⇒ BrBr (last Br when He-giant) BcBc ⇒ Forms double WD systems
