ABSTRACT I have run hydrodynamic simulations that follow the colliding wind structure of
the massive binary system HD 166734 along its binary orbit. I show that close to periastron …

We run a numerical experiment ejecting stellar winds in a very massive binary system
measuring the properties of the resulting colliding wind structure and accreted mass onto the …

About half of the binary systems are close enough to each other for mass to be exchanged
between them at some point in their evolution, yet the accretion mechanism in wind …

In this paper we study the 3D SPH structure and dynamics of an accretion disc generated in
a close binary system by supersonic wind accretion from a massive secondary on to a …

Classical supergiant X-ray binaries host a neutron star orbiting a supergiant OB star and
display persistent X-ray luminosities of 1035–1037 erg s− 1. The stellar wind from the …

We carry out a numerical experiment for ejecting winds in a massive colliding-wind binary
system and quantify the accretion on to the secondary star under different primary mass-loss …

In the framework of Euler flows, I present simulations of wind accretion in well separated
binaries for three different cases: Cygnus X-3, a high mass X-ray binary (see eg Schmutz et …

We investigate to what extent the radiation and stellar wind momenta in a massive close
binary system can remove part of the matter flowing from one towards the other star during a …

We study the formation, evolution and physical properties of accretion discs formed via wind
capture in binary systems. Using the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) code astrobear, we …

We present a three-dimensional (3D) dynamical model of the orbital-induced curvature of
the wind–wind collision region in binary star systems. Momentum balance equations are …
