Wide binary pulsars from electron-capture supernovae
Simon Stevenson, Reinhold Willcox, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +1
Neutron stars receive velocity kicks at birth in supernovae. Those formed in electron-capture supernovae from super asymptotic giant branch stars -- the lowest mass stars to end th…
Mergers prompted by dynamics in compact, multiple-star systems: a stellar-reduction case for the massive triple TIC 470710327
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Bin Liu, David R. Aguilera-Dena +3
TIC 470710327, a massive compact hierarchical triple-star system, was recently identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TIC 470710327 is comprised of a co…
A binary origin for the first isolated stellar-mass black hole detected with astrometric microlensing
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
The Milky Way is believed to host hundreds of millions of quiescent stellar-mass black holes (BHs). In the last decade, some of these objects have been potentially uncovered via gr…
