The role of core-collapse physics in the observability of black-hole neutron-star mergers as multi-messenger sources
Jaime Román-Garza, Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos +10
Recent detailed 1D core-collapse simulations have brought new insights on the final fate of massive stars, which are in contrast to commonly used parametric prescriptions. In this…
Toward a better understanding of supernova environments: a study of SNe 2004dg and 2012P in NGC 5806 with HST and MUSE
Ning-Chen Sun, Justyn R. Maund, Paul A. Crowther +2
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are the inevitable fate of most massive stars. Since most stars form in groups, SN progenitors can be constrained with information of their environme…
The impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of field binary black hole populations
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Michael Zevin +13
We study the impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of binary black hole populations formed through isolated binary evolution. We investigate the impact of ma…
The explosive life of massive binaries
Mathieu Renzo, Emmanouil Zapartas
Massive stars are born predominantly as members of binary (or higher multiplicity) systems, and the presence of a companion can significantly alter their life and final fate. There…
The origin of pulsating ultra-luminous X-ray sources: Low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries containing neutron star accretors
Devina Misra, Tassos Fragos, Thomas Tauris +2
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are those X-ray sources located away from the centre of their host galaxy with luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit of a stellar-mass blac…
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…
