A New Route to Massive Hot Subdwarfs: Common Envelope Ejection from Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
The hot subdwarf O/B stars (sdO/Bs) are known as extreme horizontal branch stars, which is of great importance in stellar evolution theory. The sdO/Bs are generally thought to have a helium-burning core and a thin hydrogen envelope ( M _env < 0.02 M _⊙ ). In the canonical binary evolution scenari...
