The unipolar induction DC circuit model, originally developed by Goldreich & Lynden-Bell for the Jupiter-Io system, has been applied to different types of binary systems in recent years. We show that there exists an upper limit to the…
This contribution summarizes, as of early 2008, the observational and theoretical understanding of the physics, and emission properties of two Double Degenerate Binaries with the shortest orbital period known to date. In particular, the…
Galactic binaries, and notably double white dwarfs systems, will be a prominent source for the future LISA and Einstein Telescope detectors. Contrarily to the black holes observed by the current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network, such objects bear…
There are no known examples of magnetic white dwarfs with fields larger than about 3MG paired with a non-degenerate companion in detached binary systems. The suggestion is that highly magnetic, isolated white dwarfs may originate from stars…
It is expected on both evolutionary and empirical grounds that many merging neutron star (NS) binaries are composed of a highly magnetized NS in orbit with a relatively low magnetic field NS. I study the magnetic interactions of these…
We investigate the dissipative dynamics of compact binary systems within the framework of Einstein-Maxwell theory. By evaluating the mass and electric multipole moments of binaries, we compute the combined gravitational and electromagnetic…
We describe the evolution of double degenerate binary systems, consisting of components obeying the zero temperature mass radius relationship for white dwarf stars, from the onset of mass transfer to one of several possible outcomes…
It has long been accepted that a possible mechanism for explaining the existence of magnetic white dwarfs is the merger of a binary white dwarf system, as there are viable mechanisms for producing sustainable magnetism within the merger…
We consider the Unipolar Inductor Model (Goldreich & Lynden-Bell 1969) applied to Double Degenerate Binaries (DDBs) with ultrashort periods (Wu et al. 2002). In this model a magnetized primary white dwarf has a slight asynchronism between…
Wickramasinghe et al. (2014) and Briggs et al. (2015) have proposed that the strong magnetic fields observed in some single white dwarfs (MWDs) are formed by a dynamo driven by differential rotation when two stars, the more massive one with…
The origin of highly-magnetized white dwarfs has remained a mystery since their initial discovery. Recent observations indicate that the formation of high-field magnetic white dwarfs is intimately related to strong binary interactions…
In dense stellar systems the frequent dynamical interactions between stars play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of compact binaries. We study these processes using a novel approach combining a state-of-the-art binary…
Magnetic interactions between a planet and its environment are known to lead to phenomena such as aurorae and shocks in the solar system. The large number of close-in exoplanets that were discovered triggered a renewed interest in magnetic…
The LISA mission will observe gravitational waves emitted from tens of thousands of galactic binaries, in particular white dwarf binary systems. These objects are known to have intense magnetic fields. However, these fields are usually not…
In this work we consider compact binaries on eccentric orbit under the spin-spin interaction. Using the post-Newtonian formalism, the binaries undergo a perturbed Keplerian motion. Here we investigate only the radial motion and derive the…
Modelling as a dipole the magnetic interaction of a binary system of neutron stars, we are able to include the magnetic effects in the Newtonian and in the inspiral dynamics of the system using an equivalent one-body description.…
A growing population of long-period radio transients has been discovered and their physical origin is still up to debate. Recently, a new such source named ILT J1101 + 5521 was discovered, which is in a white dwarf (WD) -- red dwarf (RD)…
