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…
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 role of core-collapse physics in the observability of black-hole neutron-star mergers as multi-messenger sources
Jaime Román-Garza, Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos +10
Recent detailed 1D core-collapse simulations have brought new insights on the final fate of massive stars, which are in contrast to commonly used parametric prescriptions. In this…
The impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of field binary black hole populations
Simone S. Bavera, Tassos Fragos, Michael Zevin +13
We study the impact of mass-transfer physics on the observable properties of binary black hole populations formed through isolated binary evolution. We investigate the impact of ma…
The origin of pulsating ultra-luminous X-ray sources: Low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries containing neutron star accretors
Devina Misra, Tassos Fragos, Thomas Tauris +2
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are those X-ray sources located away from the centre of their host galaxy with luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit of a stellar-mass blac…
