Nuclear Neural Networks: Emulating Late Burning Stages in Core Collapse Supernova Progenitors

Aldana Grichener, Mathieu Renzo, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf +7

One of the main challenges in modeling massive stars to the onset of core collapse is the computational bottleneck of nucleosynthesis during advanced burning stages. The number of…

Charting the Galactic Underworld I: Comprehensive simulations of the kinematics, rates, and demographics of Milky Way black holes

Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +3

With upcoming data from Roman, Gaia DR4, and spectroscopic surveys, we will soon have an unprecedented dataset of Milky Way black holes (BHs) to constrain their formation and evolu…

JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis

Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42

SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…

Pulsational pair-instability supernovae in very close binaries

Pablo Marchant, Mathieu Renzo, Robert Farmer +4

Pair-instability and pulsational pair-instability supernovae (PPISN) have not been unambiguously observed so far. They are, however, promising candidates for the progenitors of the…

On the formation history of Galactic double neutron stars

Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Coenraad J. Neijssel, Simon Stevenson +9

Double neutron stars (DNSs) have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, and the recent discovery of gravitational waves from the DNS merger GW170817 adds to the known DNS populat…

Binary-Stripped Stars as Core-Collapse Supernovae Progenitors

David Vartanyan, Eva Laplace, Mathieu Renzo +3

Most massive stars experience binary interactions in their lifetimes that can alter both the surface and core structure of the stripped star with significant effects on their ultim…
