Bridging the Gap between Luminous Red Novae and Common Envelope Evolution: The Role of Recombination Energy and Radiation Force
Abstract Luminous red novae and their connection to common envelope evolution (CEE) remain elusive in astrophysics. Here, we present a radiation hydrodynamic model capable of simulating the light curves of material ejected during a CEE. For the first time, the radiation hydrodynamic model incorporates complete recombination physics for hydrogen and …
