Internal gravity waves propagate in stellar radiative zones and transport angular momentum throughout the evolution of stars, shaping the internal rotation pro le of these regions. We use the analytical study of Andre\'e et al. (2018) to…

Motion of stellar-mass satellites is studied around a massive compact body which is surrounded by a gaseous slab of a stationary accretion disc. The satellites suffer an orbital decay due to hydrodynamical interaction with the disc medium…

Massive stars commonly form binaries that can evolve into compact systems via common envelope evolution (CEE), a critical but poorly understood phase -- especially when the companion is a neutron star. Understanding the drag force exerted…
