Charting the Galactic Underworld II: Strategies for Identifying BHs and NSs with LISA
Tom Wagg, Frank E. Prince, Katelyn Breivik +3
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) observed by space-based gravitational-wave detectors offer constraints on binary stellar evolution that are complementary to…
Searching for Stellar Activity Cycles using Flares II: The TESS CVZ
Tobin M. Wainer, Holland M. Stuart, Guadalupe Tovar Mendoza +3
Magnetic activity cycles provide a fundamental constraint on stellar dynamos, but remain difficult to identify beyond the Sun. However, recent studies have shown that flares offer…
Implications of modern mass-loss rates for massive stars
JD Merritt, Simon Stevenson, Andreas Sander +7
Massive stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through stellar winds at various stages of their lives, including on the main sequence, during the red supergiant phase, and…
Delayed and Displaced: The Impact of Binary Interactions on Core-collapse SN Feedback
Tom Wagg, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Mathieu Renzo +7
Core-collapse supernova feedback models in hydrodynamical simulations typically assume that all stars evolve as single stars. However, the majority of massive stars are formed in b…
Stellar ejection velocities from the binary supernova scenario: A comparison across population synthesis codes
Tom Wagg, David D. Hendriks, Mathieu Renzo +1
The vast majority of binary systems are disrupted at the moment of the first supernova, resulting in an unbound compact object and companion star. These ejected companion stars con…
Searching for Stellar Activity Cycles using Flares: The Short and Long Timescale Activity Variations of TIC-272272592
Tobin M. Wainer, James R. A. Davenport, Guadalupe Tovar Mendoza +2
We examine 4 years of Kepler 30-min data, and 5 Sectors of TESS 2-min data for the dM3 star KIC-8507979/TIC-272272592. This rapidly rotating (P=1.2 day) star has previously been id…
The Asteroseismic Imprints of Mass Transfer: A Case Study of a Binary Mass Gainer in the SPB Instability Strip
Tom Wagg, Cole Johnston, Earl P. Bellinger +3
We present new simulations investigating the impact of mass transfer on the asteroseismic signals of slowly pulsating B stars. We use MESA to simulate the evolution of a binary sta…
