Light-curve and spectral properties of ultra-stripped core-collapse supernovae leading to binary neutron stars
Takashi J. Moriya, Paolo A. Mazzali, Nozomu Tominaga +7
We investigate light-curve and spectral properties of ultra-stripped core-collapse supernovae. Ultra-stripped supernovae are the explosions of heavily stripped massive stars which…
Evolution of intermediate-mass X-ray binaries driven by magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars: I. ultracompact X-ray binaries
Wen-Cong Chen, Philipp Podsiadlowski
It is generally believed that Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) evolved from binaries consisting of a neutron star accreting from a low-mass white dwarf or helium star where mass…
The violent white dwarf merger scenario for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae
Dongdong Liu, Bo Wang, Philipp Podsiadlowski +1
Recent observations suggest that some type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) originate from the merging of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs). Meanwhile, recent hydrodynamical simulation…
A new route towards merging massive black holes
Pablo Marchant, Norbert Langer, Philipp Podsiadlowski +2
Recent advances in gravitational-wave astronomy make the direct detection of gravitational waves from the merger of two stellar-mass compact objects a realistic prospect. Evolution…
Rejuvenation of stellar mergers and the origin of magnetic fields in massive stars
Fabian R. N. Schneider, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +2
Approximately 10% of massive OBA main-sequence (MS) and pre-MS stars harbour strong, large-scale magnetic fields. At the same time there is a dearth of magnetic stars in close bina…
Modelling the circumstellar medium in RS Ophiuchi and its link to Type Ia supernovae
Richard A. Booth, Shazrene Mohamed, Philipp Podsiadlowski
Recent interpretations of narrow, variable absorption lines detected in some Type Ia supernovae suggest that their progenitors are surrounded by dense, circumstellar material. Simi…
