Hidden oscillations in plain sight: identification of seismically unresolved red-giant asteroseismic binary candidates

Jeong Yun Choi, Francisca Espinoza-Rojas, Saskia Hekker

Light curves of oscillating stars provide valuable insights into the stellar interiors. When oscillations from a pair of stars are captured within a single photometric aperture, th…

Testing the 3-equation Kuhfuss Convection Model using the Sun

T. A. M. Braun, F. Ahlborn, F. Kupka +1

Simplified, one-dimensional models are necessary to model convection in the context of stellar evolution. By including the non-local effects of convection, turbulent convection mod…

The sensitivity and behaviour of the curvature in the échelle diagram of red-giant stars

S. Hekker, Y. Elsworth, S. Basu +5

In the convective envelopes of relatively cool stars, oscillations are excited by turbulent convection. In these so-called solar-like oscillators, radial oscillation modes appear a…

Asymptotic power spectra and visibilities of damped mixed modes

Jonas Müller, Quentin Coppée, Jordan Van Beeck +2

Recent observational studies of red giant stars have estimated the visibility of their mixed oscillation modes, which is a proxy of the average energy of these modes. Among other t…

Drawing the line between explosion and collapse in electron-capture supernovae -- I. Impact of conductive flame speeds and ignition conditions on the explosion mechanism

Alexander Holas, Samuel W. Jones, Friedrich K. Roepke +5

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are commonly thought to result in a collapse to a neutron star. Recent work has shown that a thermonuclear explosion is also a possible outcome.…

Thermal-timescale accretion does not always yield critical rotation in mass gainers

Chen Wang, Mike Y. M. Lau, Xiang-Dong Li +7

Binary evolution plays a central role in producing rapidly rotating stars. Previous studies have shown that mass gainers in binaries can reach critical rotation after accreting onl…

Slow White Dwarf Mergers as a New Galactic Source of Trans-Iron Elements

Umberto Battino, Claudia Lederer-Woods, Claudia Travaglio +2

The astrophysical origins of the heaviest stable elements that we observe today in the Solar System are still not fully understood. Recent studies have demonstrated that H-accretin…

Local simulations of common-envelope dynamical inspiral. Impact of rotation, accretion, and stratification

D. Gagnier, G. Leidi, M. Vetter +2

Common envelope evolution (CEE) is a crucial phase in binary stellar evolution. Current global three-dimensional simulations lack the resolution to capture the small-scale dynamics…

Magnetic field generation in mergers of massive main-sequence stars

Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Friedrich K. Roepke +3

Magnetic fields are found in many astrophysical objects, ranging from galaxy clusters to the interstellar medium of galaxies and neutron stars. Strong surface magnetic fields are a…

Ensemble seismic study of the properties of the core of Red Clump stars

Anthony Noll, Sarbani Basu, Saskia Hekker

Red clump stars still pose open questions regarding several physical processes, such as the mixing around the core, or the nuclear reactions, which are ill-constrained by theory an…

Impact of near-degeneracy effects on linear rotational inversions for red-giant stars

F. Ahlborn, J. M. Joel Ong, J. Van Beeck +3

Accurate estimates of internal red-giant rotation rates are a crucial ingredient for constraining and improving current models of stellar rotation. Asteroseismic rotational inversi…

Red giant asteroseismic binaries in the Kepler field

Francisca Espinoza-Rojas, Nathalie Themeßl, Saskia Hekker

Systems in which two oscillating stars are observed in the same light curve, so-called asteroseismic binaries (ABs), arise from either chance alignments or gravitationally bound st…

A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

Hydrodynamical models of the Lyr A circumstellar disc

Kristián Vitovský, Miroslav Brož

We study dynamics of circumstellar discs, with a focus on the Lyrae A binary system. This system with ongoing mass transfer has been extensively observed, using photometry, spe…

Trans-Fe elements from Type Ia Supernovae. I. Heavy element nucleosynthesis during the formation of near-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs

Umberto Battino, James Keegans, Megan Allen +9

Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) are thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in binary systems. They are central to galactic chemical evolution and serve as standardizable candles in cos…

Explosions of pulsating red supergiants: a natural pathway for the diversity of Type II-P/L supernovae

V. A. Bronner, E. Laplace, F. R. N. Schneider +1

Red supergiants (RSGs), which are progenitors of hydrogen-rich Type II supernovae (SNe), have been known to pulsate from both observations and theory. The pulsations can be present…
