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
First WD
Systems that form 1 WD ⇒ Mwd1 vs. a
Case B systems, with Mwd1 = 0.4-0.5
general these systems: M1 = 2.7-3.15/ M2 = 0.7-1/ a = 10-30 Rsun/ per = 5-10 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
general these systems: M1 = 1-4/ M2 = 0.8-2.6/ a = 5-12 Rsun/ per = 0.8-2.1 days
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
⇒ Also case A mass transfer, but results in a contact system (system does not survive)
⇒ Also case A mass transfer, but coelescence (system does not survive), based on models De Mink +07
⇒ Case B mass transfer. Primary becomes a NS
⇒ Pirmary: Case C(B), Secondary: Case B (unstable): merge
⇒ Pirmary: Case C, Secondary: Case B (unstable): merge
Comparison with examples of the SeBa-group
⇒ 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
⇒ 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
⇒ BrBr (last Br when He-giant) BcBc ⇒ Forms double WD systems
⇒ C (unstable)- Bc: Forms COWD+ HeWD in a close orbit (falls below region of stable systems)
⇒ BrBr (last Br when He-giant) BcBc ⇒ Forms double WD systems
