Relative frequencies of core-collapse supernovae as a function of metallicity: observations vs theoretical predictions

Claudia P. Gutiérrez, Lluís Galbany, Joseph P. Anderson +4

Understanding supernova (SN) progenitors remains a major challenge in astrophysics, as it involves untangling the complex interplay between stellar physics (e.g., evolution, binari…

A statistical study of the environmental age of core-collapse supernovae based on VLT/MUSE integral-field-unit spectroscopy

Qiang Xi, Ning-Chen Sun, Yihan Zhao +13

We aim to understand the progenitor channels of CCSNe via a statistical study of the ages of their environments. We compiled a large and minimally biased sample of 128 CCSNe discov…

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…

HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh

Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19

Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…

The power of binaries on stripped-envelope supernovae across metallicity: uniform progenitor parameter space and persistently low ejecta masses, but subtype diversity

D. Souropanis, E. Zapartas, T. Pessi +9

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) originate from massive stars that lose their envelopes through binary interactions or stellar winds. The connection between SESN subtypes and t…

The Demographics of Binary Companions to Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: Confronting Observations with Population Synthesis

E. Zapartas, O. D. Fox, J. Su +15

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) mark the deaths of massive stars without hydrogen-rich envelopes. Most SESNe likely originate from binary systems where a companion stripped th…

POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities

Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21

Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…

The effect of mass loss in models of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud

E. Zapartas, S. de Wit, K. Antoniadis +16

The rate and mechanism of mass loss of red supergiants (RSGs) remain poorly understood, especially at low metallicities. Motivated by the new empirical prescription by Yang et al.…

Improved constraints on Galactic Centre ejection of hypervelocity stars based on novel search method

Sill Verberne, Elena Maria Rossi, Sergey E. Koposov +6

Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars which have been ejected from the Galactic Centre (GC) at velocities of up to a few thousand km/s. They are tracers of the Galactic potential an…

Detection of optical emission from the supernova remnant G7.7-3.7

V. Domček, J. V. Hernández Santisteban, A. Chiotellis +6

We present the first optical study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G7.7-3.7, with the aim of determining its evolutionary phase since it has been suggested to be the remnant of SN 3…

Planetary nebulae hosting accreting white dwarfs: A possible solution for the mysterious cut-off of Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function?

D. Souropanis, A. Chiotellis, P. Boumis +2

Many binary companions to the central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) are found to be inflated, perhaps indicating that accretion onto the central star might occur during the PN p…

Linking the properties of accreting white dwarfs with the ionization state of their ambient medium

D. Souropanis, A. Chiotellis, P. Boumis +5

Steadily accreting white dwarfs (WDs) are efficient sources of ionization and thus, are able to create extended ionized nebulae in their vicinity. These nebulae represent ideal too…

Deep optical study of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant G 132.7+1.3 (HB3)

P. Boumis, A. Chiotellis, V. Fragkou +8

We present optical ccd images of the large supernova remnant (SNR) G132.71.3 (HB3) covering its full extent for the first time, in the emission lines of H[N II], [S II] and…
