Rethinking Thorne-Żytkow Object Formation: The Fate of X-ray Binary LMC X-4 and Implications for Ultra-long Gamma-ray Bursts
Tenley Hutchinson-Smith, Rosa Wallace Everson, Angela A. Twum +5
We present a start-to-end simulation aimed at studying the long-term fate of high-mass X-ray binaries and whether a Thorne-Żytkow object (TŻO) might ultimately be assembled. We ana…
Rethinking Thorne-Żytkow Object Formation: Assembly via Common Envelope in Field Binaries
Rosa Wallace Everson, Tenley Hutchinson-Smith, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +1
Thorne-Żytkow objects (TŻOs), hypothetical merger products in which a neutron star is embedded in a stellar core, are traditionally considered steady-state configurations. Their as…
Constraints on neutrino natal kicks from black-hole binary VFTS 243
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Reinhold Willcox, Irene Tamborra +8
The recently reported observation of VFTS 243 is the first example of a massive black-hole binary system with negligible binary interaction following black-hole formation. The blac…
Stellar triples with chemically homogeneously evolving inner binaries
Andris Dorozsmai, Silvia Toonen, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +2
Observations suggest that massive stellar triples are common. However, their evolution is not yet fully understood. We investigate the evolution of hierarchical triples in which th…
Design and analysis of tweet-based election models for the 2021 Mexican legislative election
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Javier Murillo, Manelik Ramirez +3
Modelling and forecasting real-life human behaviour using online social media is an active endeavour of interest in politics, government, academia, and industry. Since its creation…
