Many of the research topics of Noam Soker deal with binary interaction, from massive stars to interaction with planets. Among his colleagues, Noam Soker is known to be addicted to angular momentum conservation, and hence his obsession with binary stars. These binary interactions lead to beautiful nebulae of all kinds.
