Modeling contact binaries, III. Properties of a population of close, massive binaries
Matthias Fabry, Pablo Marchant, Norbert Langer +1
Among massive stars, binary interaction is the rule rather than the exception. The closest binaries, those with periods of less than about 10 days, undergo mass transfer during cor…
Stripped helium-star and compact object binaries in coeval populations -- predictions based on detailed binary evolution models
Chen Wang, Julia Bodensteiner, Xiao-Tian Xu +9
Massive stars mainly form in close binaries, where their mutual interactions can profoundly alter their evolutionary paths. Evolved binaries consisting of a massive OB-type main-se…
Whispering in the dark: Faint X-ray emission from black holes with OB star companions
Koushik Sen, Ileyk El Mellah, Norbert Langer +3
Context. Recent astrometric and spectroscopic surveys of OB stars have revealed a few stellar-mass black holes (BHs) with orbital periods as low as 10 days. No X-ray counterpart ha…
