Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38
The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…
J0453+1559: a neutron star-white dwarf binary from a thermonuclear electron-capture supernova?
Thomas M. Tauris, H. -Thomas Janka
The compact binary radio pulsar system J0453+1559 (Martinez et al. 2015) consists of a recycled pulsar as primary component of and an unseen companion star of $…
On the weak magnetic field of millisecond pulsars: Does it decay before accretion?
Marilyn Cruces, Andreas Reisenegger, Thomas M. Tauris
Millisecond pulsars are old, fast spinning neutron stars thought to have evolved from classical pulsars in binary systems, where the rapid rotation is caused by the accretion of ma…
Deeper, Wider, Sharper: Next-Generation Ground-Based Gravitational-Wave Observations of Binary Black Holes
Vassiliki Kalogera, Christopher P L Berry, Monica Colpi +10
Next-generation observations will revolutionize our understanding of binary black holes and will detect new sources, such as intermediate-mass black holes. Primary science goals in…
Nuclear timescale mass transfer in models of supergiant and ultra-luminous X-ray binaries
Martin Quast, Norbert langer, Thomas M. Tauris
We investigate how the proximity of supergiant donor stars to the Eddington-limit, and their advanced evolutionary stage, may influence the evolution of massive and ultra-luminous…
