MESA models show residual hydrogen envelope mass sets effective temperature on the horizontal branch, with maximum values of 0.05-0.30 solar masses to avoid later thermally pulsing AGB evolution, plus explanations for blue hook stars and puffed-up pre-HB configurations.
Mock catalogs of Milky Way white dwarf mergers are created with COSMIC and released publicly, summarizing outcomes by mass and composition while varying binary evolution uncertainties to connect with LISA sources.
Reconstruction of GRO J1655-40, SAX J1819.3-2525 and 4U 1543-47 requires CE efficiencies α_0.5U ≳6.7, α_U ≳4.2, α_H ≳1.7 with no solutions below unity, implying need for additional energy or formalism changes plus natal kicks ≳50 km/s for 4U 1543-47.
