Explosions in Roche-lobe Distorted Stars: Relativistic Bullets in Binaries

State-of-the-art surveys reveal that most massive stars in the Universe evolve in close binaries. Massive stars in such systems are expected to develop aspherical envelopes due to tidal interactions and/or rotational effects. Recently, it was shown that point explosions in oblate stars can produce r...
