Challenges in Forming Millisecond Pulsar-Black Holes from Isolated Binaries
Camille Liotine, Vicky Kalogera, Jeff J. Andrews +12
Binaries harboring a millisecond pulsar (MSP) and a black hole (BH) are a key observing target for current and upcoming pulsar surveys. We model the formation and evolution of such…
Mass Transfer in Eccentric Orbits with Self-consistent Stellar Evolution
Kyle Akira Rocha, Rachel Hur, Vicky Kalogera +12
We investigate Roche lobe overflow mass transfer (MT) in eccentric binary systems between stars and compact objects (COs), modeling the coupled evolution of both the star and the o…
Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Detailed Binary Evolution Simulations
Philipp M. Srivastava, Ugur Demir, Aggelos Katsaggelos +14
Modeling of large populations of binary stellar systems is an intergral part of a many areas of astrophysics, from radio pulsars and supernovae to X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts,…
POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities
Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…
The Formation of Black Holes in Non-interacting, Isolated Binaries. Gaia Black Holes as Calibrators of Stellar Winds From Massive Stars
Matthias U. Kruckow, Jeff J. Andrews, Tassos Fragos +10
Context. The black holes discovered using Gaia, especially Gaia BH1 and BH2, have low mass companions of solar-like metallicity in wide orbits. For standard isolated binary evoluti…
The effect of mass loss in models of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
E. Zapartas, S. de Wit, K. Antoniadis +16
The rate and mechanism of mass loss of red supergiants (RSGs) remain poorly understood, especially at low metallicities. Motivated by the new empirical prescription by Yang et al.…
Mass-gap Black Holes in Coalescing Neutron Star Black Hole Binaries
Zepei Xing, Vicky Kalogera, Tassos Fragos +10
The existence of a mass gap of between the heaviest neutron stars (NSs) and the lightest black holes (BHs), inferred from the BH mass distribution in low mass X-ra…
Emulators for stellar profiles in binary population modeling
Elizabeth Teng, Ugur Demir, Zoheyr Doctor +14
Knowledge about the internal physical structure of stars is crucial to understanding their evolution. The novel binary population synthesis code POSYDON includes a module for inter…
Formation of Wind-Fed Black Hole High-mass X-ray Binaries: The Role of Roche-lobe-Overflow Post Black-Hole Formation
Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +12
The three dynamically confirmed wind-fed black hole high-mass X-ray binaries (BH-HMXBs) are suggested to all contain a highly spinning black hole (BH). However, based on the theori…
