A comprehensive grid of massive binary evolution models for the Galaxy - Surface properties of post-mass transfer stars
Harim Jin, Norbert Langer, Andrea Ercolino +1
Massive stars often evolve in binary systems, in which binary interactions significantly affect their evolution. Massive stars in the Galaxy serve as valuable testbeds for this due…
HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh
Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19
Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…
A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
Resolving Black Hole Family Issues Among the Massive Ancestors of Very High-Spin Gravitational-Wave Events Like GW231123
Jakob Stegmann, Aleksandra Olejak, Selma E. de Mink
The latest detection of GW231123, a binary black hole (BH) merger with exceptionally large masses and high spins for the incoming components, has been suggested as a smoking gun fo…
Evidence of polar and ultralow supernova kicks from the orbits of Be X-ray binaries
Ruggero Valli, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +7
Supernovae, the explosive deaths of massive stars, create heavy elements and form black holes and neutron stars. These compact objects often receive a velocity at formation, a "kic…
Carbon from massive binary-stripped stars over cosmic time: effect of metallicity
Jing-Ze Ma, Rob Farmer, Selma E. de Mink +1
The origin of carbon in the Universe remains uncertain. At solar metallicity, binary-stripped massive stars -- stars that lost their envelope through stable interaction with a comp…
