    Interactions between stars are crucial for diverse areas of astrophysics, but they are not yet fully understood. These interactions come in forms as diverse as a direct physical collision, matter transfer from one star to another, and a "common envelope" (CE). The CE phase is a...

    Interactions between stars are crucial for diverse areas of astrophysics, but they are not yet fully understood. These interactions come in forms as diverse as a direct physical collision, matter transfer from one star to another, and a "common envelope" (CE). The CE phase is a short period of...

    We investigate the production of fast ejecta from the contact interface in coalescing binary neutron stars. This ejecta expands rapidly enough (velocities > 0.6c) that the r-process freezes out, generating an ultraviolet precursor to the kilonova powered by the decay of free neutrons. Previous...
