The Evolution of Massive Stellar Multiplicity in the Field I. Numerical simulations, long-term evolution and final outcomes
Holly P. Preece, A. Vigna-Gómez, A. S. Rajamuthukumar +2
We investigate how the multiplicity of binary, triple and quadruple star systems changes as the systems evolve from the zero-age main-sequence to the Hubble time. We find the chang…
Thorne-Żytkow Objects
Anna J. G. O'Grady, Takashi J. Moriya, Mathieu Renzo +1
Interacting binary star systems play a critical role in many areas of astrophysics. One interesting example of a binary merger product are Thorne-Żytkow Objects (TŻOs), stars that…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74
Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…
Population synthesis of Thorne-Żytkow objects: Rejuvenated donors and unexplored progenitors in the common envelope formation channel
K. Nathaniel, A. Vigna-Gómez, A. Grichener +3
Context. Common envelope evolution of a massive star and a neutron star companion has two possible outcomes: formation of a short-period binary (a potential gravitational wave sour…
Long-term Evolution of Binary Orbits Induced by Circumbinary Disks
Ruggero Valli, Christopher Tiede, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +6
Circumbinary disks are found in a variety of astrophysical scenarios, spanning binary star formation to accreting supermassive black hole binaries. The interaction with a circumbin…
