Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
An updated glitch rate law inferred from radio pulsars
Margaret Millhouse, Andrew Melatos, George Howitt +3
Radio pulsar glitches probe far-from-equilibrium processes involving stress accumulation and relaxation in neutron star interiors. Previous studies of glitch rates have focused on…
Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
Persistent gravitational radiation from glitching pulsars. II. Updated scaling with vortex number
Thippayawis Cheunchitra, Andrew Melatos, Julian B. Carlin +1
Superfluid vortices pinned to nuclear lattice sites or magnetic flux tubes in a neutron star evolve abruptly through a sequence of metastable spatial configurations, punctuated by…
Common-Envelope Episodes that lead to Double Neutron Star formation
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Morgan MacLeod, Coenraad J. Neijssel +6
Close double neutron stars have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, while their mergers have been detected as gamma-ray bursts and gravitational-wave sources. They are believe…
