Constraints on neutrino natal kicks from black-hole binary VFTS 243
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Reinhold Willcox, Irene Tamborra +8
The recently reported observation of VFTS 243 is the first example of a massive black-hole binary system with negligible binary interaction following black-hole formation. The blac…
The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer
Reinhold Willcox, Morgan MacLeod, Ilya Mandel +1
We use the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS to investigate commonly used prescriptions for the determination of mass transfer stability in close binaries and the orbit…
An Observationally-Derived Kick Distribution for Neutron Stars in Binary Systems
Tyrone N. O'Doherty, Arash Bahramian, James C. A. Miller-Jones +5
Understanding the natal kicks received by neutron stars (NSs) during formation is a critical component of modelling the evolution of massive binaries. Natal kicks are an integral i…
Rapid population synthesis of black-hole high-mass X-ray binaries: implications for binary stellar evolution
Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Ryosuke Hirai, Arash Bahramian +2
We conduct binary population synthesis to investigate the formation of wind-fed high-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes (BH-HMXBs). We evolve multiple populations of high-m…
