Maximally accreting supermassive stars: a fundamental limit imposed by hydrostatic equilibrium
L. Haemmerlé, G. Meynet, L. Mayer +3
Major mergers of gas-rich galaxies provide promising conditions for the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M) by direct collapse because they can t…
A wide star-black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements
Jifeng Liu, Haotong Zhang, Andrew W. Howard +52
All stellar mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted by gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with…
The Formation of a 70 Msun Black Hole at High Metallicity
K. Belczynski, R. Hirschi, E. A. Kaiser +7
A 70Msun BH was discovered in Milky Way disk in a long period and almost circular detached binary system (LB-1) with a high metallicity 8Msun B star companion. Current consensus on…
The Chemical Evolution of Iron-Peak Elements with Hypernovae
J. J. Grimmett, Amanda I. Karakas, Alexander Heger +2
We calculate the mean evolution of the iron-peak abundance ratios [(Cr,Mn,Co,Zn)/Fe] in the Galaxy, using modern supernova and hypernova chemical yields and a Galactic Chemical Evo…
Multi-epoch X-ray burst modelling: MCMC with large grids of 1D simulations
Zac Johnston, Alexander Heger, Duncan K. Galloway
Type-I X-ray bursts are recurring thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting neutron stars. Matching observed bursts to computational models can help to constrain system…
X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Emission From Core-collapse Supernovae: Comparison of Three-dimensional Neutrino-driven Explosions With SN 1987A
Dennis Alp, Josefin Larsson, Keiichi Maeda +7
During the first few hundred days after the explosion, core-collapse supernovae (SNe) emit down-scattered X-rays and gamma-rays originating from radioactive line emissions, primari…
