A new mass-transfer stability prescription drastically reduces the predicted number of post-common-envelope binaries with solar-type companions, best matching observations with low common-envelope efficiency.
Enhanced angular-momentum loss via outer-Lagrangian mass ejection shifts the ELM white-dwarf mass–period relation downward and reproduces most observed short-period systems.

The Best Guess: Testing new and old formalisms for the common envelope against observations
Forward-modeling 193 observed post-common-envelope binaries shows energy-based formalisms (α and Two-stage) match observations while the angular-momentum-based SCATTER formalism does not, with recombination energy contributing 10–40%.
