We study the formation of dust in the expanding gas ejected as a result of a common envelope binary interaction. In our novel approach, we apply the dust formation model of Nozawa et al. to the outputs of the 3D hydrodynamic SPH simulation performed by Iaconi et al., that involves a giant of 0.88~ms and 83~rs, with a companion of 0.6~ms placed on the surface of the giant in circular orbit. After simulating the dynamic in-spiral phase we follow the expansion of the ejecta for $simeq 18,000$~days. During this period the gas is able to cool down enough to reach dust formation temperatures. Our results show that dust forms efficiently in the window between $simeq 300$~days (the end of the dynamic in-spiral) and $simeq 5000$~days. The dust forms in two separate populations; an outer one in the material ejected during the first few orbits of the companion inside the primarys envelope and an inner one in the rest of the ejected material. We are able to fit the grain size distribution at the end of the simulation with a double power law. The slope of the power law for smaller grains is flatter than that for larger grains, creating a knee-shaped distribution. The power law indexes are however different from the classical values determined for the interstellar medium. We also estimate that the contribution to cosmic dust by common envelope events is not negligible and comparable to that of novae and supernovae.

We investigate the common envelope binary interaction, that leads to the formation of compact binaries, such as the progenitor of Type Ia supernovae or of mergers that emit detectable gravitational waves. In this work we diverge from the classic nume
rical approach that models the dynamic in-spiral. We focus instead on the asymptotic behaviour of the common envelope expansion after the dynamic in-spiral terminates. We use the SPH code {sc phantom} to simulate one of the setups from Passy et al., with a 0.88~ms, 83~rs RGB primary and a 0.6~ms companion, then we follow the ejecta expansion for $simeq 50$~yr. Additionally, we utilise a tabulated equation of state including the envelope recombination energy in the simulation (Reichardt et al.), achieving a full unbinding. We show that, as time passes, the envelopes radial velocities dominate over the tangential ones, hence allowing us to apply an homologous expansion kinematic model to the ejecta. The external layers of the envelope become homologous as soon as they are ejected, but it takes $simeq 5000$~days ($simeq 14$~yr) for the bulk of the unbound gas to achieve an homologous expanding regime. We observe that the complex distribution generated by the dynamic in-spiral evolves into a more ordered, ring-like shaped one in the asymptotic regime. We show that the thermodynamics of the expanding envelope are in very good agreement with those expected for an adiabatically expanding sphere under the homologous condition and give a prediction for the location and temperature of the photosphere assuming dust to be the main source of opacity.
Context. An important ingredient in binary evolution is the common-envelope (CE) phase. Although this phase is believed to be responsible for the formation of many close binaries, the process is not well understood. Aims. We investigate the character
istics of the population of post-common-envelope binaries (PCEB). As the evolution of these binaries and their stellar components are relatively simple, this population can be directly used to constraint CE evolution. Methods. We use the binary population synthesis code SeBa to simulate the current-day population of PCEBs in the Galaxy. We incorporate the selection effects in our model that are inherent to the general PCEB population and that are specific to the SDSS survey, which enables a direct comparison for the first time between the synthetic and observed population of visible PCEBs. Results. We find that selection effects do not play a significant role on the period distribution of visible PCEBs. To explain the observed dearth of long-period systems, the {alpha}-CE efficiency of the main evolutionary channel must be low. In the main channel, the CE is initiated by a red giant as it fills its Roche lobe in a dynamically unstable way. Other evolutionary paths cannot be constrained more. Additionally our model reproduces well the observed space density, the fraction of visible PCEBs amongst white dwarf (WD)- main sequence (MS) binaries, and the WD mass versus MS mass distribution, but overestimates the fraction of PCEBs with helium WD companions.
Over half of all observed hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars are found in binaries, and over half of these are found in close configurations with orbital periods of 10$ ,rm{d}$ or less. In order to estimate the companion masses in these predominantly single-
lined systems, tidal locking has frequently been assumed for sdB binaries with periods less than half a day. Observed non-synchronicity of a number of close sdB binaries challenges that assumption and hence provides an ideal testbed for tidal theory. We solve the second-order differential equations for detailed 1D stellar models of sdB stars to obtain the tidal dissipation strength and hence to estimate the tidal synchronization time-scale owing to Zahns dynamical tide. The results indicate synchronization time-scales longer than the sdB lifetime in all observed cases. Further, we examine the roles of convective overshooting and convective dissipation in the core of sdB stars and find no theoretical framework in which tidally-induced synchronization should occur.
One in 5 planetary nebulae are ejected from common envelope binary interactions but Kepler Space Telescope results are already showing this proportion to be larger. Their properties, such as abundances can be starkly different from those of the gener
al population, so they should be considered separately when using PN as chemical or population probes. Unfortunately post-common envelope PN cannot be discerned using only their morphologies, but this will change once we couple our new common envelope simulations with PN formation models.
Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars with discs are all binaries. Many of these binaries have orbital periods between 100 and 1000 days so cannot have avoided mass transfer between the AGB star and its companion, likely through a common-enve
lope type interaction. We report on preliminary results of our project to model circumbinary discs around post-AGB stars using our binary population synthesis code binary_c. We combine a simple analytic thin-disc model with binary stellar evolution to estimate the impact of the disc on the binary, and vice versa, fast enough that we can model stellar populations and hence explore the rather uncertain parameter space involved with disc formation. We find that, provided the discs form with sufficient mass and angular momentum, and have an inner edge that is relatively close to the binary, they can both prolong the life of their parent post-AGB star and pump the eccentricity of orbits of their inner binaries.
