The ALMA carbon monoxide supernova (ACOS) survey II. Turbulent giant molecular clouds at the positions of core-collapse supernovae
M. Solar, M. J. Michałowski, J. Nadolny +11
Context. Study of cold molecular hydrogen gas (hereafter molecular gas) provides crucial insights into its interplay with star-forming regions. However, the connection between mole…
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…
Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14
With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…
Relative frequencies of core-collapse supernovae as a function of metallicity: observations vs theoretical predictions
Claudia P. Gutiérrez, LluÃs 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…
Revealing the diversity of Type IIn supernova progenitors through their environments
Zexi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Emmanouil Zapartas +4
Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) are hydrogen-rich explosions embedded in dense circumstellar medium (CSM), which gives rise to their characteristic narrow hydrogen emission lines. Th…
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…
