Development of convective envelopes in massive stars: Implications for gravitational wave sources

Amedeo Romagnolo, Jakub Klencki, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +1

The structure of stellar envelopes strongly influences the course and outcome of binary mass transfer, in particular of common envelope (CE) evolution. Convective envelopes can mos…

Evolution of stars with 60 and 200 Msun: predictions for WNh stars in the Milky Way

Alex Camilo Gormaz-Matamala, Amedeo Romagnolo, Krzysztof Belczynski

We study in detail the evolution of two massive stars at solar metallicity (), by calculating their final masses, radial expansion, and chemical enrichment. We run evoluti…

Evolution of rotating massive stars adopting a newer, self-consistent wind prescription at SMC metallicity

Alex Camilo Gormaz-Matamala, Jorge Cuadra, Sylvia Ekström +3

We use Geneva-evolution-code to run evolutionary tracks for stellar masses ranging from to at SMC metallicity (). We upgrade the recipe for stellar win…

Unequal-mass, highly-spinning binary black hole mergers in the stable mass transfer formation channel

Aleksandra Olejak, Jakub Klencki, Xiao-Tian Xu +3

The growing database of gravitational-wave (GW) detections with the binary black holes (BHs) merging in the distant Universe contains subtle insights into their formation scenarios…

The enigmatic origin of two dormant BH binaries: Gaia BH1 and Gaia BH2

Iwona Kotko, Sambaran Banerjee, Krzysztof Belczynski

The two systems, namely, Gaia~BH1 and Gaia~BH2, that have been confirmed as dormant (i.e., no X-ray emission detected) black hole (BH) - low-mass star binaries in the latest Gaia m…

The Formation of a 70 Msun Black Hole at High Metallicity

K. Belczynski, R. Hirschi, E. A. Kaiser +7

A 70Msun BH was discovered in Milky Way disk in a long period and almost circular detached binary system (LB-1) with a high metallicity 8Msun B star companion. Current consensus on…
