The 10 pages that link to Common envelope, each with the reason it gives.

• Binary starBroader topic: This short-lived interaction can shrink an orbit dramatically and reshape the system.

• Planetary nebulaRelated: This process can eject gas and influence the nebula's geometry and central system.

• Roche-lobe overflowCompared with: Unstable overflow can engulf both stars and lead to this distinct evolutionary phase.

• Stellar mass lossRelated: Binary interaction can expel a star’s envelope far more rapidly than an ordinary wind.

• Binary neutron starRelated: Envelope drag can shrink a stellar binary enough to produce a close neutron-star pair.

• Binary black holeRelated: Envelope drag can shrink a stellar binary enough for its black-hole remnants to merge.

• Roche lobeRelated: Unstable mass transfer after a star outgrows its lobe can engulf both stars.

• Circumstellar mediumRelated: It can expel dense, asymmetric gas around a close binary.

• Eta CarinaeCompared with: It is one proposed framework for explaining the Great Eruption’s energy and mass ejection.

• NGC 7027Related: Binary interaction is one proposed route to the strong shaping seen in some compact nebulae.
