Can Neutron Star Mergers Alone Explain the R-process Enrichment of the Milky Way?
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens
Mennekens and Vanbeveren (2014) studied the effect of double compact star mergers on the Galactic chemical enrichment of r-process elements. LIGO merger detections since 2015 and n…
Evidence from high mass X-ray binaries that Galactic WR components of WR+O binaries end their life with a supernova explosion
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +1
Theoretical population number studies of binaries with at least one black hole (BH) component are obviously depending on whether or not BHs receive a (natal) kick during their form…
The spin rates and spin evolution of the O components in WR+O binaries
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, M. M. Shara +1
Despite 50 years of extensive binary research we have to conclude that the Roche lobe overflow/mass transfer process that governs close binary evolution is still poorly understood.…
A comparison between observed Algol-type double stars in the Solar neighborhood and evolutionary computations of galactic case A binaries with a B-type primary at birth
N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren
We first discuss a large set of evolutionary calculations of close binaries with a B-type primary at birth and with a period such that the Roche lobe overflow starts during the cor…
The delayed time distribution of massive double compact star mergers
N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren
In order to investigate the temporal evolution of binary populations in general, double compact star binaries and mergers in particular within a galactic evolution context, a most…
Massive star population synthesis with binaries
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens
We first give a short historical overview with some key facts of massive star population synthesis with binaries. We then discuss binary population codes and focus on two ingredien…
