Populations of Neutron Star Ultraluminous X-ray Sources: Mind your b's and B's
Konstantinos Kovlakas, Devina Misra, Roberta Amato +1
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with neutron star (NS) accretors challenge traditional accretion models, and have sparked a debate regarding the role of geometrical beaming and…
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…
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…
From ZAMS to Merger: Detailed Binary Evolution Models of Coalescing Neutron Star-Black Hole Systems at Solar Metallicity
Zepei Xing, Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos +10
Neutron star black hole (NSBH) merger events bring us new opportunities to constrain theories of stellar and binary evolution, and understand the nature of compact objects. In…
Exploring the nature of ultra-luminous X-ray sources across stellar population ages using detailed binary evolution calculations
Devina Misra, Konstantinos Kovlakas, Tassos Fragos +8
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are sources observed to exceed the Eddington limit of a stellar-mass black hole (BH). A fraction of ULX sources show X-ray pulses which are evid…
The formation of merging black holes at solar metallicity
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Emmanouil Zapartas +11
The maximum mass of black holes formed in isolated binaries is determined by stellar winds and the interactions between the binary components. We consider for the first time fully…
