Since September 2018, LAMOST starts a new 5-year medium-resolution spectroscopic survey (MRS) using bright/gray nights. We present the scientific goals of LAMOST-MRS and propose near optimistic strategy survey. A complete footprint is also provided. Not only regular survey, but time-domain being conducted since 2018 will be end in 2023. According to detailed plan, we expect that can observe about 2 million stellar spectra with ~7500 limiting magnitude around G=15 mag. Moreover, it provide...
The stability of mass transfer is important in the formation contact binaries from detached when primaries initially fill their Roche lobes. Using Eggleton's stellar evolution code, we investigate and short-period limit by considering effect instability transfer. It found that with decreasing initial primary 0.89M$_{\rm \odot}$ to 0.63M$_{\rm \odot}$, range ratio decreases for experience stable evolve into contact. If less than would dynamically unstable These systems a common envelope...
Abstract Common envelope evolution (CEE) physics plays a fundamental role in the formation of binary systems, such as merging stellar gravitational wave sources, pulsar binaries, and Type Ia supernovae. A precisely constrained CEE has become more important age large surveys detectors. We use an adiabatic mass-loss model to explore how total energy donor changes function remnant mass. This provides self-consistent way calculate binding donor. For comparison, we also through integrating from...

Moreover, secular angular momentum (AM), mass, orbital FCBs were investigated according ages, which set AM...
Well-determined physical parameters of 130 W UMa systems have been collected from the literature. Based on these data, evolutionary status and dynamical evolution are investigated. It is found that there no difference between W- A-type in $M-J$ diagram which consistent with results derived analysis observed spectral type, $M-R$ $M-L$ diagrams systems. indicate a large amount energy should be transferred more massive to less component so they not thermal equilibrium undergo relaxation...
Using Eggleton's stellar evolution code, we study the minimum mass ratio ($q_{\rm min}$) of W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) binaries that have different primary masses. It is found UMa decreases with increasing if primary's less than about 1.3$M_{\rm \odot}$, and above this roughly constant. By comparing theoretical observational data, it existence low-$q$ systems can be explained by structure primaries This suggests dimensionless gyration radius ($k_1^2$) thus very important in determining ratio....
Identifying bifurcated blue straggler (BS) sequences in color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of star clusters has long been regarded as a powerful diagnostic for distinguishing different BS formation mechanisms. While such bifurcations are typically associated with core-collapsed clusters, their detection dynamically young raises new questions about origins. In this study, using high-precision proper motion data derived from Hubble Space Telescope multi-epoch observations, we confirm the...

We develop optical and near-infrared colour-selection criteria based on the model colours of binaries consisting a white dwarf main-sequence star. Using our algorithm, we present catalogue 523 dwarf–main sequence (WDMS) from spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7), most them previously identified. Among them, identify 86 objects as new WDMS binaries. 95 candidates are also found photometric SDSS DR7, cross-matched with United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) 5...
The detached-binary channel is an important for the formation of contact binaries, according to which a detached binary might evolve into by evolutionary expansion components, or angular momentum loss through effect magnetic braking (MB). We have carried out detailed population synthesis (BPS) study this channel, and obtained parameter regions binaries contact. Combining observations from $\emph{Kepler}$ satellite with our results, we found that ratio birth rate progenitors greater than...
Based on the physical parameters of 133 W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) type contact binaries, energy transfer and its effects secondaries in UMa binaries are investigated. Relations given between mass ratio (q) for relative rates, i.e. U1, transferred luminosity to surface primary, U2, nuclear secondary. The theoretical curves(U1 versus q U2 q) derived based various assumptions: that two components each system nearly identical effective temperature just fill their inner Roche lobes, primaries...
Abstract Two blue-straggler sequences discovered in globular cluster M30 provide a strong constraint on the formation mechanisms of blue stragglers. We study binaries through binary evolution, and find that evolution can contribute to stragglers both sequences.

Abstract The bifurcated patterns in the color–magnitude diagrams of blue straggler stars (BSSs) have attracted significant attention. This type special (but rare) pattern two distinct sequences is commonly interpreted as evidence that cluster core-collapse-driven stellar collisions are an efficient formation mechanism. Here, we report detection a distribution young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster, NGC 2173. Because cluster’s low central number density and its age, dynamical analysis shows...
Observations have revealed the presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters (GCs) that exhibit wide abundance variations and sequences Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram. We present a scenario for formation GCs. In this scenario, initial GCs are single-generation clusters, our model predicts stars with anomalous abundances observed merged accretor produced by binary interactions—rapidly rotating at moment their formation—and these more massive than normal single same...
ABSTRACT Close detached binaries were theoretically predicted to evolve into contact by three subtypes of case A binary evolution, cases AD, AR, and AS, which correspond the formation during dynamic-, thermal-, nuclear-time-scale mass transfer phases, respectively. It is unclear, however, what difference between in these subtypes, whether all can account for observed W Ursae Majoris (W UMa) binaries. Using Eggleton’s stellar evolution code with non-conservative assumption, I obtained...

The hot subdwarf O/B stars (sdO/Bs) are known as extreme horizontal branch stars, which is of great importance in stellar evolution theory. sdO/Bs generally thought to have a helium-burning core and thin hydrogen envelope $(M_{\rm env }<0.02M_\odot)$. In the canonical binary scenario, considered be stripped cores red giants. However, such scenario cannot explain recently discovered sdO/B binary, SMSS J1920, where strong Ca H$\&$K lines spectrum found. It suggests that this likely originated...
