Explore a 15-minute astronomy lecture examining the complex interactions between AGB (Asymptotic Giant Branch) star winds and companion objects through high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic modeling. Discover how the SPH code Phantom reveals intricate morphological structures like disks, bipolar patterns, spirals, and arcs formed by wind-companion interactions. Learn about the crucial role of HI atomic line cooling in enabling accretion disk formation around companion stars, and examine how disk properties depend on wind and binary system characteristics. Delve into the fascinating morphologies that emerge in AGB star outflows within hierarchical, coplanar triple systems, presented by researcher Jolien Malfait from KU Leuven, Belgium.
