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%.
