Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
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…
Non-conservative Mass Transfer as a Formation Channel for Gaia Black Hole System
Aleksandra Olejak, Jakub Klencki, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +6
The detected Gaia systems hosting compact objects challenge standard models of binary star evolution. In particular, if the observed black hole (BH) systems evolved in isolation, t…
Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients as "Failed" Gravitational-wave Sources: Helium CoreBlack Hole Mergers Following Delayed Dynamical Instability
Jakub Klencki, Brian D. Metzger
Binaries in which a massive donor star undergoes an extended ( kyr) phase of stable mass transfer onto a black hole (BH) accretor offer a promising channel for creating LI…
Orbital Eccentricity and Spin-Orbit Misalignment Are Evidence that Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers Form through Triple Star Evolution
Jakob Stegmann, Jakub Klencki
There is growing evidence that a substantial fraction of the neutron star-black holes (NSBHs) detected through gravitational waves merge with non-zero eccentricity or large BH spin…
A fundamental limit to how close binary systems can get via stable mass transfer shapes the properties of binary black hole mergers
Jakub Klencki, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +4
Mass transfer in binary systems is the key process in the formation of various classes of objects, including merging binary black holes (BBHs) and neutron stars. Orbital evolution…
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…
