SAC Seminar - Aspects of Stellar Evolution in Close Binaries (and Triples) Speaker: Thomas Tauris (Astronomical Institute, University of Bonn; Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, Bonn) In: 1532-116 (G1 - the Math's Department) TITLE: Aspects of Stellar Evolution in Close Binaries (and Triples) ABSTRACT: I will discuss stellar evolution in close binaries and highlight some exotic outcomes. Examples of the differences from single stellar evolution will be shown and in particular I will focus on three cases: ultra-stripped Type Ic SNe, progenitor evolution leading to accretion-induced collapseof massive ONeMg white dwarfs, and thermal evolution of low-mass (proto) helium white dwarfs. If time permits, I may say a few words about hypervelocity stars as well
