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...

In this thesis, we investigate the effectiveness of theoretical descriptions of angular momentum loss in stars due to the presence of magnetic fields, a process commonly known as magnetic braking. The most widely used description of magnetic braking is the so-called Skumanich prescription, which...

We explore the production and observation of high energy (X-ray and ultraviolet/UV) radiation in the context of Galactic, compact binary systems. At the end of the stellar lifecycle, a star collapses into one of three compact objects (COs) depending on the mass at the time of collapse: a white...

In this thesis we investigate a novel binary formation channel with a semi- degenerate donor and examine the stability criteria in binary systems with a massive donor. First we will review the current basics in the understanding of binary systems along with where recent research has been moving...

In astrophysics, stellar evolution is one of the most discussed topics. Although a significant amount of research and advancement of instrumentation over the last few decades have contributed to this field greatly, our understanding of the pre-main sequence evolution remains largely incomplete....
