COMMON ENVELOPE SIMULATIONS

Summary of recent work

  1. Continued to write/edit energy paper (see overleaf)
  2. Plots for energy paper (see en_fig.pdf, last post)
  3. New longer movie of AGB run (see last post)
  4. Energy plots for AGB run (this post)
  5. Plan for other papers

Energy paper

Overleaf: ​https://www.overleaf.com/project/5bd20d99379a851a13bfd103

2D plots for AGB run 164: ​http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~lchamandy/CE_papers/Energy/en_fig_run164.pdf

Planned papers

  • Parameter space—dependence on secondary mass (~15 pages):
    • Compare energy/mass unbinding for different runs.
    • Analysis of orbital dynamics including damping force. Compare with theory and compare the three different runs.
    • Convergence tests.
    • Suggest to extend the runs in time somewhat (but stop before material exits box).
    • ALTERNATIVELY: could study orbital dynamics for the fiducial run in a shorter separate paper.
  • Jet (Letter): See previous posts
  • AGB (Letter)
    • Present the run since not really done by anyone before
    • Compare with RGB run
      • Orbit
      • Energy
      • Orbital dynamics
    • QUESTION: Do we perform a new run or use the present run? Material has just started to exit the box!
