When Stars Get Too Close Stellar outbursts used to come in two classes: supernovae and novae, the complete explosions and the thermonuclear runaways on the surface of evolved stars, respectively. Over the past two decades a class of stellar outbursts emerged with luminosities between those of novae and supernovae—intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs). Ivanova et al. (p. 433) propose that these ILRTs are the signature of common envelope events in which a lower-mass star in a close binary system is engulfed by matter transferred from its more massive and more evolved companion star. A model suggests that an intermediate class of stellar outbursts results from interaction between two stars in a close binary. Common-envelope events (CEEs), during which two stars temporarily orbit within a shared envelope, are believed to be vital for the formation of a wide range of close binaries. For decades, the only evidence that CEEs actually occur has been indirect, based on the existence of systems that could not be otherwise explained. Here we propose a direct observational signature of CEEs arising from a physical model where emission from matter ejected in a CEE is controlled by a recombination front as the matter cools. The natural range of time scales and energies from this model, as well as the expected colors, light-curve shapes, ejection velocities, and event rate, match those of a recently recognized class of red transient outbursts.
