The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: Observational evidence for two distinct populations of massive runaway stars in 30 Doradus
H. Sana, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, V. Hénault-Brunet +17
Two main scenarios have been proposed for origin of massive runaway stars -- dynamical ejection or release from a binary at the first core collapse -- but their relative contributi…
No peaks without valleys: The stable mass transfer channel for gravitational-wave sources in light of the neutron star-black hole mass gap
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, M. Renzo +6
Gravitational-wave (GW) detections are starting to reveal features in the mass distribution of double compact objects. The lower end of the black hole (BH) mass distribution is esp…
Resolving The Peak Of The Black Hole Mass Spectrum
Ebraheem Farag, Mathieu Renzo, Robert Farmer +2
Gravitational wave (GW) detections of binary black hole (BH) mergers have begun to sample the cosmic BH mass distribution. The evolution of single stellar cores predicts a gap in t…
Dissecting the microphysics behind the metallicity-dependence of massive stars radii
Chengcheng Xin, Mathieu Renzo, Brian D. Metzger
Understanding the radii of massive stars throughout their evolution is important to answering numerous questions about stellar physics, from binary interactions on the main sequenc…
Rejuvenated accretors have less bound envelopes: Impact of Roche lobe overflow on subsequent common envelope events
M. Renzo, E. Zapartas, S. Justham +5
Common-envelope (CE) evolution is an outstanding open problem in stellar evolution, critical to the formation of compact binaries including gravitational-wave sources. In the ``cla…
SNR G292.0+1.8: A Remnant of a Low-Mass Progenitor Stripped-Envelope Supernova
Tea Temim, Patrick Slane, John C. Raymond +5
We present a study of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G292.0+1.8, a classic example of a core-collapse SNR that contains oxygen-rich ejecta, circumstellar material, a rapidly…
Pair-instability mass loss for top-down compact object mass calculations
M. Renzo, D. D. Hendriks, L. A. C. van Son +1
Population synthesis relies on semi-analytic formulae to determine masses of compact objects from the (helium or carbon-oxygen) cores of collapsing stars. Such formulae are combine…
