◮ As if we have a clue?! ◮ Envelope weakly bound ◮ Even with α = 1 only a few % of envelope’s recombination energy is required ◮ Nelemans/Tout γ prescription →similar! ◮ Only for P . 2000 days

◮ Huang 1956: ◮ when the lost mass is collected by the secondary component, the major axis will decrease ˙ ˙ M ˙ ◮ Jorb ∝ − M1 − 2 M2 M1 ◮ Second term large for efficient accretion! ˙ Jorbit ˙ ˙ ◮ Jorbit = l M1 + M2 M1+M2 (l & 2) ◮ Alternatively: ◮ magnetic braking ◮ disc mass loss?
