Summary edit

Description
English: Stages of a common envelope phase in a binary star system.

Top: A star fills its Roche lobe and begins mass transfer to its companion.

Middle: The companion is engulfed; the core and companion spiral towards one another inside a common envelope.

Bottom: Either the envelope is ejected and a binary system composed of the core and companion forms or the stars merge and a rapidly rotating single star forms.
