Exploring the Nature of Weak Chandra Sources near the Galactic Centre
R. M. Bandyopadhyay, K. M. Blundell, Ph. Podsiadlowski +5
We present early results from the first IR imaging of the weak X-ray sources discovered in a recent Chandra survey towards the Galactic Centre. From our VLT observations we will id…
The single degenerate channel for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae
Zhanwen Han, Philipp Podsiadlowski
We have carried out a detailed study of one of the most popular evolutionary channels for the production of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors, the semi-degenerate channel (CO+M…
The Effects of Binary Evolution on the Dynamics of Core Collapse and Neutron-Star Kicks
Ph. Podsiadlowski, N. Langer, A. J. T. Poelarends +3
We systematically examine how the presence in a binary affects the final core structure of a massive star and its consequences for the subsequent supernova explosion. Interactions…
On the Evolution and Appearance of a Surviving Companion after a Type Ia Supernova Explosion
Philipp Podsiadlowski
One promising method to test progenitor models for Type Ia supernovae is to identify surviving companion stars in historical supernova remnants. A surviving companion will have bee…
The Galactic Population of Low- and Intermediate-Mass X-ray Binaries
E. Pfahl, S. Rappaport, Ph. Podsiadlowski
(abridged) We present the first study that combines binary population synthesis in the Galactic disk and detailed evolutionary calculations of low- and intermediate-mass X-ray bina…
The origin of sdB stars (II)
Zhanwen Han, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Pierre F. L. Maxted +1
We have carried out a detailed binary populations synthesis (BPS) study of the formation of subdwarf B (sdB) stars and related objects (sdO, sdOB stars) using the latest version of…
