Searching for Anomalies in the ZTF Catalog of Periodic Variable Stars
H. S. Chan, V. Ashley Villar, S. H. Cheung +4
Periodic variables illuminate the physical processes of stars throughout their lifetime. Wide-field surveys continue to increase our discovery rates of periodic variable stars. Aut…
"Super-Kilonovae" from Massive Collapsars as Signatures of Black-Hole Birth in the Pair-instability Mass Gap
Daniel M. Siegel, Aman Agarwal, Jennifer Barnes +3
The core collapse of rapidly rotating massive ~10 Msun stars ("collapsars"), and resulting formation of hyper-accreting black holes, are a leading model for the central engines of…
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole merger rate: a weighty matter
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, T. Callister +7
Gravitational wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate, . We make predictions for $R_{\mathrm{BB…
Confirming NGC 6231 as the parent cluster of the runaway high-mass X-ray binary HD 153919/4U 1700-37 with Gaia DR2
Vincent van der Meij, Difeng Guo, Lex Kaper +1
A significant fraction of the most massive stars move through space with a high velocity. One of the possible physical explanations is that a supernova in a compact binary system r…
Evolution of accretor stars in massive binaries: broader implications from modeling ζ Ophiuchi
M. Renzo, Y. Gotberg
Most massive stars are born in binaries close enough for mass transfer episodes. These modify the appearance, structure, and future evolution of both stars. We compute the evolutio…
Revisiting the explodability of single massive star progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae
E. Zapartas, M. Renzo, T. Fragos +12
Stripped-envelope supernovae (Types IIb, Ib, and Ic) that show little or no hydrogen comprise roughly one-third of the observed explosions of massive stars. Their origin and the ev…
Binary-Stripped Stars as Core-Collapse Supernovae Progenitors
David Vartanyan, Eva Laplace, Mathieu Renzo +3
Most massive stars experience binary interactions in their lifetimes that can alter both the surface and core structure of the stripped star with significant effects on their ultim…
Periodic Fast Radio Bursts from Luminous X-ray Binaries
Navin Sridhar, Brian D. Metzger, Paz Beniamini +4
The discovery of periodicity in the arrival times of the fast radio bursts (FRBs) poses a challenge to the oft-studied magnetar scenarios. However, models that postulate that FRBs…
Different to the core: the pre-supernova structures of massive single and binary-stripped stars
E. Laplace, S. Justham, M. Renzo +4
The majority of massive stars live in binary or multiple systems and will interact during their lifetimes, which helps to explain the observed diversity of core-collapse supernovae…
Prospects of gravitational-waves detections from common-envelope evolution with LISA
M. Renzo, T. Callister, K. Chatziioannou +6
Understanding common envelope (CE) evolution is an outstanding problem in binary evolution. Although the CE phase is not driven by gravitational-wave (GW) emission, the in-spiralin…
