Tidal Spin-up of Subdwarf B Stars
Linhao Ma, Jim Fuller
Hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars are stripped helium-burning stars that are often found in close binaries, where they experience strong tidal interactions. The dissipation of tidally exc…
Variability of Blue Supergiants in the LMC with TESS
Linhao Ma, Cole Johnston, Earl P. Bellinger +1
The blue supergiant (BSG) problem, namely, the overabundance of BSGs inconsistent with classical stellar evolution theory, remains an open question in stellar astrophysics. Several…
Most Black Holes are Born Very Slowly Rotating
Jim Fuller, Linhao Ma
The age of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has begun, and black hole (BH) mergers detected by LIGO are providing novel constraints on massive star evolution. A major uncertainty…
Angular momentum transport in massive stars and natal neutron star rotation rates
Linhao Ma, Jim Fuller
The internal rotational dynamics of massive stars are poorly understood. If angular momentum (AM) transport between the core and the envelope is inefficient, the large core AM upon…
