The formation of the stripped envelope type II b Supernova progenitors: Rotation, Metallicity and Overshooting
Gang Long, Hanfeng Song, Georges Meynet +6
Type IIb supernovae are believed to originate from core-collapse progenitors having kept only a very thin hydrogen envelope. We aim to explore how some physical factors, such as ro…
POSYDON: A General-Purpose Population Synthesis Code with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations
Tassos Fragos, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +22
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar systems, where the presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions.…
Close binary evolution based on Gaia DR2: the origin of late WC-type Wolf-Rayet stars with low luminosity
Weiguo Peng, Hanfeng Song, Georges Meynet +8
The observed late-type WC Wolf-Rayet stars (WC7-9) with low luminosity below in the HR diagram cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by the evolutionary…
On the Origin of Black Hole Spin in High-mass X-Ray Binaries
Ying Qin, Pablo Marchant, Tassos Fragos +2
Black hole (BH) spins in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) cover a range of values that can be explained by accretion after BH birth. In contrast, the three BH spin measurements in h…
The spin of the second-born black hole in coalescing binary black holes
Y. Qin, T. Fragos, G. Meynet +3
Various binary black hole formation channels have been proposed since the first gravitational event GW150914 was discovered by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave…
