Multi-Dimensional MHD simulations of young Core-Collapse Supernova Remnants

C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, B. Reville +3

Supernova remnants (SNRs) play a central role in shaping the interstellar medium. Core-Collapse Supernova (CCSN) progenitors are massive stars, which produce a dense circumstellar…

Exploring the borderline between stable mass transfer and mergers in close binary evolution

Christoph Schürmann, Norbert Langer

The majority of massive stars reside in binary systems, which are expected to experience mass transfer during their evolution. However, so far the conditions under which mass trans…

Analytic approximations for massive close post-mass transfer binary systems

Christoph Schürmann, Norbert Langer, Joana A. Kramer +3

Massive binary evolution models are needed to predict massive star populations in star forming galaxies, the supernova diversity, and the number and properties of gravitational wav…

Evidence for stellar mergers of evolved massive binaries: blue supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Athira Menon, Andrea Ercolino, Miguel A. Urbaneja +8

Blue supergiants are the brightest stars in their host galaxies and yet their evolutionary status has been a long-standing problem in stellar astrophysics. In this pioneering work,…

Modeling of Magneto-Rotational Stellar Evolution I. Method and first applications

Koh Takahashi, Norbert Langer

While magnetic fields have long been considered to be important for the evolution of magnetic non-degenerate stars and compact stars, it has become clear in recent years that actua…

The effect of rotation on the stability of nuclear burning in accreting neutron stars

L. Keek, N. Langer, J. J. M. in 't Zand

Hydrogen and/or helium accreted by a neutron star from a binary companion may undergo thermonuclear fusion. At different mass accretion rates different burning regimes are discerne…
