The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer

We use the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS to investigate commonly used prescriptions for the determination of mass transfer stability in close binaries and the orbital separations after stable mass transfer. The degree of orbital tightening during nonconservative mass transfer episode...
