Common-envelope Evolution

Common-Envelope Evolution is a critical phase in binary star dynamics wherein a binary star system undergoes rapid orbital shrinkage as a donor star—often a red giant or massive star—expands and transfers mass to its companion, leading to the formation of a shared gaseous envelope that envelopes both stars and drives spiral-in through drag forces, ultimately determining the fate of close compact binaries and supernova progenitors.
