Abstract: The general problem of a supernova explosion in a binary star system is studied. We show that to a good approximation the effect of the impinging blast wave which strips and ablates mass from the companion can be expressed in terms of a single parameter. The eccentricity imparted to the system and the ratio of final to initial semimajor axes depend on two to six parameters, depending on the level of approximation. Results for calculations of the eccentricity imparted to an initially circular system are presented by means of graphs, tables, and simple fitting formulae for two basis types of models; one in which the companion is a ''normal'' star (polytrope, n=3) and one in which the companion is in a ''red- giant'' phase.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined key interactions of double-neutron star (DNS) systems and evaluated their accretion history during the high-mass X-ray binary stage, the common envelope phase, and the subsequent Case BB mass transfer.

Type Ia Supernova Explosions in Binary Systems: The Impact on the Secondary Star and Its Consequences
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of the supernova shell on different companion stars to predict the amount of mass stripped and its distribution in velocity and solid angle for the types of binary scenarios that have been proposed as Type Ia progenitor models.
Seeing the Collision of a Supernova with its Companion Star
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the collision of the supernova ejecta with its companion star should produce detectable emission in the hours and days following the explosion, and that these signatures are prominent for viewing angles looking down upon the shocked region, or about 10% of the time.

Seeing the collision of a supernova with its companion star
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the collision of the supernova ejecta with its companion star should produce detectable emission in the hours and days following the explosion, and the properties of the emission provide a straightforward measure of the separation distance between the stars and hence (assuming Roche lobe overflow) the companion's radius.

ACCELERATING COMPACT OBJECT MERGERS IN TRIPLE SYSTEMS WITH THE KOZAI RESONANCE: A MECHANISM FOR “PROMPT” TYPE Ia SUPERNOVAE, GAMMA-RAY BURSTS, AND OTHER EXOTICA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the possibility that such systems are not binaries at all, but actually coeval, or dynamical formed, triple systems and discuss implications of these findings for the production of transients formed via compact object binary mergers.
