Tides in Massive Binaries: Numerical Solutions and Semi-Analytical Comparisons

Meng Sun, Hongbo Xia, Seth Gossage +5

We present a systematic comparison between the tidal secular evolution timescales predicted by the direct numerical method and those given by the commonly used semi-analytic prescr…

HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh

Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19

Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…

The power of binaries on stripped-envelope supernovae across metallicity: uniform progenitor parameter space and persistently low ejecta masses, but subtype diversity

D. Souropanis, E. Zapartas, T. Pessi +9

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) originate from massive stars that lose their envelopes through binary interactions or stellar winds. The connection between SESN subtypes and t…

The Demographics of Binary Companions to Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: Confronting Observations with Population Synthesis

E. Zapartas, O. D. Fox, J. Su +15

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) mark the deaths of massive stars without hydrogen-rich envelopes. Most SESNe likely originate from binary systems where a companion stripped th…

Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14

With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…

JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94

Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18

Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…
