Wobbling Jets in Common Envelope Evolution

We find that the convective motion in the envelopes of red supergiant (RSG) stars supplies a non-negligible stochastic angular momentum to the mass that a secondary star accretes in a common envelope evolution (CEE), such that jets that the secondary star launches wobble. The orbital motion of the s...
