Natalia Ivanova,Stephen Justham,Stephen Justham,Xue-Fei Chen,O. De Marco,Chris L. Fryer,Evghenii Gaburov,Hongwei Ge,Evert Glebbeek,Evert Glebbeek,Zhanwen Han,X.-D. Li,G. Lu,G. Lu,T. R. Marsh,Ph. Podsiadlowski,A. Potter,Noam Soker,Ronald E. Taam,Ronald E. Taam,Thomas M. Tauris,Thomas M. Tauris,E.P.J. van den Heuvel,Ronald F. Webbink +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the current best physical understanding of common envelope evolution (CEE) and highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas which should point the way forward for progress in this important but long-standing and largely unconquered problem.

Compact Object Modeling with the StarTrack Population Synthesis Code
Krzysztof Belczynski,Vicky Kalogera,Frederic A. Rasio,Ronald E. Taam,Andreas Zezas,Tomasz Bulik,Thomas J. Maccarone,Thomas J. Maccarone,Natalia Ivanova +8 more
TL;DR: StarTrack as mentioned in this paper is a popular population synthesis code for X-ray binary populations that can be used for a wide variety of problems, with relevance to observations with many current and planned observatories, e.g., studies of Xray binaries (Chandra, XMM-Newton), gravitational radiation sources (LIGO, LISA), and gamma-ray burst progenitors (HETE-II, Swift).

Common Envelope Evolution of Massive Binary Stars
Ronald E. Taam,Eric L. Sandquist +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the common envelope phase of binary star evolution plays an essential role in the formation of short period systems containing a compact object, and significant mass and angular mass of a binary star can play an important role in this process.
