Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
Duncan B. Maclean, Poojan Agrawal, Katelyn Breivik +4
Gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes (BBHs) provide insights into the lives and deaths of massive stars. Population synthesis allows us to model these binaries t…
Variability classification of TESS targets in LOPS2, the first long-term pointing field of PLATO. Version 1 of the public variability catalogue
Mykyta Kliapets, Pablo Huijse, Jeroen Audenaert +28
The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission is expected to launch in January 2027. A total of 8\% of its data rate will be dedicated to complementary science t…
Twists in the flow: revisiting convective mixing in rotating stellar models. I. Effect on the stellar structure
Poojan Agrawal, Aaron Dotter, Conny Aerts +2
Convection and rotation are both key processes in stellar evolution modelling. While standard mixing-length theory (MLT) provides a widely used modelling of convection, it neglects…
Realistic predictions for Gaia black hole discoveries: comparison of isolated binary and dynamical formation models
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Chirag Chawla +6
Astrometry from Gaia has enabled discovery of three dormant black holes (BHs) in au-scale binaries. Numerous models have been proposed to explain their formation, including several…
Young Star Clusters Dominate the Production of Detached Black Hole-Star Binaries
Ugo Niccolò Di Carlo, Poojan Agrawal, Carl L. Rodriguez +1
The recent discovery of two detached black hole-star (BH-star) binaries from Gaia's third data release has sparkled interest in understanding the formation mechanisms of these syst…
Modelling stellar evolution in mass-transferring binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors with METISSE
Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +3
Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physic…
Bringing Stellar Evolution & Feedback Together: Summary of proposals from the Lorentz Center Workshop, 2022
Sam Geen, Poojan Agrawal, Paul A. Crowther +34
Stars strongly impact their environment, and shape structures on all scales throughout the universe, in a process known as ``feedback''. Due to the complexity of both stellar evolu…
The role of stellar expansion on the formation of gravitational wave sources
A. Romagnolo, K. Belczynski, J. Klencki +3
Massive stars are the progenitors of black holes and neutron stars, the mergers of which can be detected with gravitational waves (GW). The expansion of massive stars is one of the…
A systematic study of super-Eddington layers in the envelopes of massive stars
Poojan Agrawal, Simon Stevenson, Dorottya Szécsi +1
The proximity to the Eddington luminosity has been attributed as the cause of several observed effects in massive stars. Computationally, if the luminosity carried through radiatio…
Explaining the differences in massive star models from various simulations
Poojan Agrawal, Dorottya Szécsi, Simon Stevenson +2
The evolution of massive stars is the basis of several astrophysical investigations, from predicting gravitational-wave event rates to studying star-formation and stellar populatio…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
Population synthesis of accreting white dwarfs: Rates and evolutionary pathways of H and He novae
Alex J. Kemp, Amanda I. Karakas, Andrew R. Casey +5
Novae are some of the most commonly detected optical transients and have the potential to provide valuable information about binary evolution. Binary population synthesis codes hav…
The fates of massive stars: exploring uncertainties in stellar evolution with METISSE
Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +2
In the era of advanced electromagnetic and gravitational wave detectors, it has become increasingly important to effectively combine and study the impact of stellar evolution on bi…
Bonn Optimized Stellar Tracks (BoOST). Simulated Populations of Massive and Very Massive Stars for Astrophysical Applications
Dorottya Szécsi, Poojan Agrawal, Richard Wünsch +1
Massive and very massive stars can play important roles in stellar populations by ejecting strong stellar winds and exploding in energetic phenomena. It is therefore imperative tha…
