Linking high-mass X-ray binaries to binary compact object mergers in Milky Way-like galaxies
Felipe Vivanco Cádiz, M. Celeste Artale, Nicola Masetti +5
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) constitute a potential intermediate phase connecting massive stellar binaries to the formation of coalescing binary compact objects (BCOs). Yet, th…

Superorbital variability in the quiescent black hole X-ray transient A0620-00
Enzo A. Saavedra, Roi Alonso, Teo Muñoz-Darias +10
Quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries provide a key setting for probing accretion physics at low luminosities. A0620-00, the archetypal system in this class, has remained in…

FROST-CLUSTERS -- II. Massive stars, binaries and triples boost supermassive black hole seed formation in assembling star clusters
Antti Rantala, Natalia Lahén, Thorsten Naab +2
Observations and high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations indicate that massive star clusters form through a complex hierarchical assembly. We use simulations including post-Newt…
