Scientific paper

Population synthesis studies provide an excellent testbed for determining the consequences and significance of certain binary processes that lead to accretion onto a compact object. We investigated the recent observational constraints of the common envelope (CE) efficiency parameter with particular regard to the dependence on the mass ratio of the binary. In our population synthesis calculations, we also implemented binary tidal interactions prior to Roche lobe overflow, such as tidal capture of and spin up by the companion, synchronization, and enhanced equatorial mass loss of the giant that can significantly alter the evolution of the system. Finally, we analyzed these binary interactions in the context of nuclear burning on white dwarfs, accreting X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables, progenitors of Type Ia supernovae, and other high energy binary phenomena.
