Metal-poor single Wolf-Rayet stars: The interplay of optically thick winds and rotation
Lumen Boco, Michela Mapelli, Andreas A. C. Sander +7
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts 12 known Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, seven of which are apparently single. Their formation is a challenge for current stellar evolution models bec…

Formation of black holes in the pair-instability mass gap: Hydrodynamical simulations of a head-on massive star collision
Alessandro Ballone, Guglielmo Costa, Michela Mapelli +3
The detection of the binary black hole merger GW190521, with primary black hole mass , proved the existence of black holes in the theoretically pr…
