  • Stability and Coalescence of Massive Twin Binaries 

    Hwang, J.; Lombardi, James C. Jr; Rasio, F. A.; Kalogera, V. (The American Astronomical Society., 2015-06-12)
    Massive stars are usually found in binaries, and binaries with periods less than 10 days may have a preference for near equal component masses ("twins"). In this paper we investigate the evolution of massive twin binaries ...

  • Twin Binaries: Studies of Stability, Mass Transfer, and Coalescence 

    Lombardi, James C. Jr; Holtzman, William; Dooley, K. L.; Gearity, Kyle; Kalogera, V.; Rasio, F. A. (IOP, 2011-07-28)
    Motivated by suggestions that binaries with almost equal-mass components ("twins") play an important role in the formation of double neutron stars and may be rather abundant among binaries, we study the stability of ...
