Simulating a stellar contact binary merger – I. Stellar models

ABSTRACT We study the initial conditions of a common envelope (CE) event resulting in a stellar merger. A merger’s dynamics could be understood through its light curve, but no synthetic light curve has yet been created for the full evolution. Using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code Star...
