Thermal-timescale accretion does not always yield critical rotation in mass gainers
Chen Wang, Mike Y. M. Lau, Xiang-Dong Li +7
Binary evolution plays a central role in producing rapidly rotating stars. Previous studies have shown that mass gainers in binaries can reach critical rotation after accreting onl…
The formation of merging black holes via stable mass transfer in massive binary stars
Xiao-Tian Xu, Norbert Langer, Jakub Klencki +2
The vast majority of massive binary systems in the universe is evidently unsuited to produce merging binary black holes. However, several narrow evolutionary paths of isolated mass…
Using detailed single star and binary evolution models to probe the large observed luminosity spread of red supergiants in young open star clusters
Chen Wang, Lee Patrick, Abel Schootemeijer +12
Red supergiants (RSGs) represent a late evolutionary stage of massive stars. Recent observations reveal that the observed luminosity range of RSGs in young open clusters is wider t…
The luminous red nova AT 2018bwo in NGC 45 and its binary yellow supergiant progenitor
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Jakub Klencki, Ondrej Pejcha +12
Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) are astrophysical transients associated with the partial ejection of a binary system's common envelope (CE) shortly before its merger. Here we present the…
