Anisotropic mass ejection in binary mergers
We investigate the mass loss from a rotationally distorted envelope following the early, rapid in-spiral of a companion star inside a common envelope. For initially wide, massive binaries (M_1+M_2=20M_{\odot}, P\sim 10 yr), the primary has a convective envelope at the onset of mass transfer and is a...
