Common Envelope Wind Tunnel: The Effects of Binary Mass Ratio and Implications for the Accretion-Driven Growth of LIGO Binary Black Holes

1 code implementation • 29 Oct 2019 • Soumi De, Morgan MacLeod, Rosa Wallace Everson, Andrea Antoni, Ilya Mandel, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz

We demonstrate that the mass and spin accrued by these black holes per unit orbital tightening are directly related to the ratio of accretion to drag coefficients.
