Uncovering the Physical Origins of Black Holes in the Milky Way for Astronomical Surveys
Ilia Kiato, Pierson Lipschultz, Vicky Kalogera +5
The observational landscape of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way is expanding beyond X-ray binaries, with Gaia DR4 and Roman expected to open new windows onto BH popu…
From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10
Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…
Metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet binaries using detailed binary models: An absence of long-period systems at low metallicity
Max M. Briel, Eirini Kasdagli, Tassos Fragos +6
Observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in binaries in the SMC and LMC suggest a preference for short period ( days) orbits, with an apparent absence of WRs in long-peri…
The Mass-Ratio Distribution of the Low-Mass Binary Black Hole Subpopulation: A Natural Outcome of Isolated Binary Evolution
Monica Gallegos-Garcia, Anarya Ray, Vicky Kalogera +7
The observed merging binary black hole population is increasingly consistent with being composed of a mixture of subpopulations, each likely the result of different formation mecha…
High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models
Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10
Gravitational-wave observations reveal a population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with primary masses above , extending into and potentially beyond…
Stellar Population Spectra Incorporating Detailed Binary Evolution using POSYDON
Eirini Kasdagli, Jeff J. Andrews, Bret Lehmer +8
The accuracy of stellar population properties inferred through spectral energy distribution fitting hinges on the reliability of the underlying spectral models. Binary interactions…
Double Neutron Star Delay Times Across Cosmic Metallicities: The Role of Helium Star Progenitors
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Max Briel +5
Metallicity can play a significant role in massive binary evolution through its impact on the opacity within stellar interiors and wind-driven mass loss. In this work, we investiga…
Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Binary Evolution Simulations Using Dynamic Time Warping
Ugur Demir, Philipp M. Srivastava, Aggelos Katsaggelos +9
Binary stellar evolution simulations are computationally expensive. Stellar population synthesis relies on these detailed evolution models at a fundamental level. Producing thousan…
Learning the Stellar Structure Equations via Self-supervised Physics-Informed Neural Networks
Manuel Ballester, Santiago Lopez-Tapia, Seth Gossage +9
Stellar astrophysics relies critically on accurate descriptions of the physical conditions inside stars. Traditional solvers such as \texttt{MESA} (Modules for Experiments in Stell…
Disk-Regulated Mass Transfer Between Rotating Non-Degenerate Stars: Insights from Be and sdOB Binaries
Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Vicky Kalogera +3
Mass transfer between non-degenerate stars is a fundamental but still poorly understood process in binary evolution. The commonly used rotationally limited accretion prescription i…
A case for Case A: detailed look at binary black hole formation through stable mass transfer
Max M. Briel, Tassos Fragos, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +8
In isolated binary evolution, binary black hole (BBH) mergers are generally formed through stable mass transfer (SMT) or common envelope evolution. In recent years, the SMT channel…
A binary merger product as the direct progenitor of a Type II-P supernova
Zexi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Emmanouil Zapartas +16
Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) are the most common class of core-collapse SNe in the local Universe and play critical roles in many aspects of astrophysics. Since decades ago theo…
