Criteria for Dynamical Timescale Mass Transfer of Metal-poor Intermediate-mass Stars

The stability criteria of rapid mass transfer and common-envelope evolution are fundamental in binary star evolution. They determine the mass, mass ratio, and orbital distribution of many important systems, such as X-ray binaries, type Ia supernovae, and merging gravitational-wave sources. We use ou...
