The role of binarity

Session 1: Impact and effect of a companion on mass loss

examples: Roche-lobe overflow, winds, jets, wind collisions, common envelope, etc.

Session 2: Impact of a companion on stellar evolution

examples: polluted stars, rejuvenation, SN progenitors, fossil shells, etc.

Session 3: Disk formation and evolution

examples: AGB stars disks, sgB[e] stars disks, etc.

Session 4: Impact on dust formation and evolution

Session 5: Hunt for binaries

examples: binaries frequency, role of binarity, detection biases, etc.

Chesneau Prize Lecture

Session 6: Shaping

examples: large scale shells, cocoons or bubbles, ISM shocks, interaction between PN nebulae and central object, etc.
