Evolution of low-mass He stars and implications for electron-capture supernova formation in close binaries
Jun-Qian Li, Ying Qin, Zi-Yuan Wang +3
The evolution of low-mass helium (He) stars (--) with neutron-star (NS) companions in close binaries has been extensively studied, but the combined effects of…
On the origin of the rotation of massive stars
André Oliva, Facundo D. Moyano, Luca Sciarini +3
We explore the origin of the rotation rates of massive stars. Contrary to their low-mass siblings, most massive stars do not have detectable magnetic fields, so that star-disk inte…
Diagnosing the Properties and Evolutionary Fates of Black Hole and Wolf-Rayet X-ray Binaries as Potential Gravitational Wave Sources for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Network
Zi-Yuan Wang, Ying Qin, Georges Meynet +7
IC 10 X-1, NGC 300 X-1, and Cyg X-3 constitute a unique class of X-ray binaries in which a stellar-mass black hole (BH) accretes material from a Wolf-Rayet (WR). These systems are…
The fate of rotating massive stars across cosmic times
R. Hirschi, K. Goodman, G. Meynet +9
The initial mass and metallicity of stars both have a strong impact on their fate. Stellar axial rotation also has a strong impact on the structure and evolution of massive stars.…
Reassessing the Spin of Second-born Black Holes in Coalescing Binary Black Holes and Its Connection to the chi_eff-q Correlation
Zi-Yuan Wang, Ying Qin, Rui-Chong Hu +3
The mass ratio q and effective inspiral spin chi_eff of binary black hole (BBH) mergers in GWTC-4.0 show a weaker anti-correlation than in GWTC-3.0, motivating investigation of its…
Impact of the Tayler magnetic instability on the surface abundance of boron in massive stars
L. Asatiani, P. Eggenberger, M. Marchand +3
Context: The surface abundances of massive stars show evidence of internal mixing, while asteroseismic data suggest that efficient angular momentum (AM) transport occurs in stellar…
The advanced evolution of massive stars: I. New reaction rates for carbon and oxygen nuclear reactions
T. Dumont, A. Bonhomme, A. Griffiths +9
The nuclear rates for reactions involving 12C and 16O are key to compute the energy release and nucleosynthesis of massive stars during their evolution. These rates shape the stell…
Unlocking the mystery of Sr synthesis in the early Galaxy through analysis of barium isotopes in very metal-poor stars
T. M. Sitnova, L. Lombardo, L. I. Mashonkina +8
We determine the contributions of the rapid (r) and slow (s) neutron capture processes to the Ba isotope mixture, along with Ba, Eu, and Sr NLTE abundances, in a sample of very met…
Stable Case BB/BC Mass Transfer to Form GW190425-like Massive Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Ying Qin, Jin-Ping Zhu, Georges Meynet +14
On April 25th, 2019, the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration discovered a Gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, i.e., GW190425. Due to the inferred large tot…
Origin of Black Hole Spin in Lower-Mass-Gap Black Hole-Neutron Star Binaries
Ying Qin, Zhen-Han-Tao Wang, Georges Meynet +8
During the fourth observing run, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reported the detection of a coalescing compact binary (GW230529181500) with component masses estimated at…
The spin of the second-born black hole in coalescing binary black holes
Y. Qin, T. Fragos, G. Meynet +3
Various binary black hole formation channels have been proposed since the first gravitational event GW150914 was discovered by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave…
Mass and angular momentum loss via decretion disks
J. Krticka, S. P. Owocki, G. Meynet
We examine the nature and role of mass loss via an equatorial decretion disk in massive stars with near-critical rotation induced by evolution of the stellar interior. In contrast…
