Effect of binary evolution on the inferred initial and final core masses of hydrogen-rich, Type~II supernova progenitors

Emmanouil Zapartas, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +3

The majority of massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae (SNe), are found in close binary systems. Zapartas et al. (2019) modeled the fraction of hydrogen-rich, T…
