Impact of Massive Binary Star and Cosmic Evolution on Gravitational Wave Observations I: Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Edo Berger, Coenraad J. Neijssel +7
Mergers of black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries have now been observed by GW detectors with the recent announcement of GW200105 and GW200115. Such observations not only provide…
Wind mass-loss rates of stripped stars inferred from Cygnus X-1
Coenraad J. Neijssel, Serena Vinciguerra, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +5
Recent observations of the high-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 have shown that both the companion star (41 solar masses) and the black hole (21 solar masses) are more massive than pr…
Cygnus X-1 contains a 21-solar mass black hole -- implications for massive star winds
James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian, Jerome A. Orosz +23
The evolution of massive stars is influenced by the mass lost to stellar winds over their lifetimes. These winds limit the masses of the stellar remnants (such as black holes) that…
Neutron Star Extreme Matter Observatory: A kilohertz-band gravitational-wave detector in the global network
K. Ackley, V. B. Adya, P. Agrawal +160
Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influen…
Be X-ray binaries in the SMC as indicators of mass transfer efficiency
Serena Vinciguerra, Coenraad J. Neijssel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +7
Be X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) consist of rapidly rotating Be stars with neutron star companions accreting from the circumstellar emission disk. We compare the observed population of B…
Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
