Common-envelope evolution and stellar mergers
We discuss the various phases encountered during common-envelope (CE) evolution, starting with the criterion for dynamical mass transfer and the onset of a common-envelope phase, the main spiralin phase and ending with the final merging of the binary components (in cases where the envelope is not ej...
