“…Some post-CE PNe have jets. Jet masses and kinematics have been measured (e.g., Jones et al 2014) and exploited to determine the likely magnetic field strength and geometry at the time of CE (Tocknell et al 2014). They also allow us to determine the elusive timescales of CE events, such as the length of the prein-spiral phase or the formation of post-CE accretion disks after the in-spiral by a new phase of Roche lobe overflow or fallback of envelope gas (Kuruwita et al 2016).…”

A current issue in the study of planetary nebulae with close binary central stars is the extent to which the binaries affect the shaping of the nebulae. Recent studies have begun to show a high coincidence rate between nebulae with largescale axial or point symmetries and close binary stars. In addition, combined binary-star and spatio-kinematic modeling of the nebulae have demonstrated that all of the systems studied to date appear to have their central binary axis aligned with the primary axis of the nebula. Here we add two more systems to the list, the central stars and nebulae of NGC 6337 and Sp 1. We show both systems to be low inclination, with their binary axis nearly aligned with our line-of-sight. Their inclinations match published values for the inclinations of their surrounding nebulae. Including these two systems with the existing sample statistically demonstrates a direct link between the central binary and the nebular morphology. In addition to the systems' inclinations we give ranges for other orbital parameters from binary modeling, including updated orbital periods for the binary central stars of NGC 6337 and Sp 1.

“…On the other hand, jets from accretion disks formed during binary activity could explain the observations (Blackman & Lucchini, 2014). Other interesting cases are the collimated structures seen in PNe with post-CE central star binaries studied by Jones et al (2014a, 2014b. Their kinematics were used by Tocknell et al (2014) to impose constraints on the CE interaction energies, timescales, and magnetic fields.…”

Astrophysicists are increasingly taking into account the effects of orbiting companions on stellar evolution. New discoveries have underlined the role of binary star interactions in a range of astrophysical events, including some that were previously interpreted as being due uniquely to single stellar evolution. We review classical binary phenomena, such as type Ia supernovae, and discuss new phenomena, such as intermediate luminosity transients, gravitational wave-producing double black holes, and the interaction between stars and their planets. Finally, we reassess well-known phenomena, such as luminous blue variables, in light of interpretations that include both single and binary stars. At the same time we contextualise the new discoveries within the framework of binary stellar evolution. The last decade has seen a revival in stellar astrophysics as the complexity of stellar observations is increasingly interpreted with an interplay of single and binary scenarios. The next decade, with the advent of massive projects such as the Square Kilometre Array, the James Webb Space Telescope, and increasingly sophisticated computational methods, will see the birth of an expanded framework of stellar evolution that will have repercussions in many other areas of astrophysics such as galactic evolution and nucleosynthesis.

“…A key prediction of all CE models is that, due to the transfer of orbital angular momentum, the envelope should be preferentially ejected in the orbital plane of the binary such that the symmetry axis of the resulting nebula lies perpendicular to this plane [29]. In order to test this prediction, one must determine the morphology and orientation of the PN, via spatio-kinematical modelling [15,35,13], as well as the inclination of the central binary, via simultaneous modelling of light and radial velocity curves (see figure 1; [17,20]). To date, only eight systems have been the subject of sufficiently detailed study in order to test the prediction, however all eight systems present with the expected correlation (see figure 2).…”

“…The search for new binary central stars has focussed primarily on targeted photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of the central stars of PNe which present morphological features believed to be characteristic of a binary evolution [24]. These searches have been extremely successful leading to a rapid increase in the rate of discovery [4,2,16,17,32,20]. Detailed studies of these systems and those from the literature have revealed many interesting results with important implications for our understanding of close-binary evolution and the common envelope (CE) phase, in particular.…”

It is now clear that central star binarity plays a key role in the formation and evolution of planetary nebulae, with a significant fraction playing host to close-binary central stars which have survived one or more common envelope episodes. Recent studies of these systems have revealed many surprises which place important constraints on the common envelope -a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena, including the cosmologically important supernovae type ia and other transient phenomena which will be detected by next-generation facilities, like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and the space-based gravitational wave detector the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna.1 A complete list is maintained at http://drdjones.net/bCSPN.
