Semi-Analytical Model for the Evolution of Stellar Binaries in the Empty Loss Cone of Massive Black Holes
Samuel McGuire, Evgeni Grishin, Ilya Mandel +1
Binary star systems orbiting close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) evolve through encounters with other stars, the SMBH's tidal forces, and the binary's internal dynamics, incl…
Modern tidal interaction models for rapid binary population synthesis: II. Binary black hole formation, mergers, and spins
Veome Kapil, Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley +3
We present predictions for the merger rates and effective spin () distribution of binary black holes (BBHs) from isolated binary evolution, using a new self-consistent…
Evolution of Massive Main-sequence Stars in Rapid Population Synthesis. I. Framework and Implementation
Adam Brček, Ryosuke Hirai, Ilya Mandel +1
Stars spend most of their lifetime on the main sequence (MS), where hydrogen burning establishes the internal chemical structure that governs the subsequent evolution. In massive s…
A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
What is the most massive gravitational-wave source?
Ilya Mandel
In the presence of significant measurement uncertainties, the events which appear to be the most extreme are very likely to be those exhibiting the greatest statistical fluctuation…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS: methods paper II
Ilya Mandel, Jeff Riley, Adam Boesky +13
The COMPAS public rapid binary population synthesis code has undergone a number of key improvements since the original COMPAS methods paper (Team COMPAS: Riley et al., 2022) was pu…
Constraints on LIGO/Virgo Compact Object Mergers from Late-time Radio Observations
Ashna Gulati, Tara Murphy, Dougal Dobie +6
We present results from a search for radio afterglows of compact object mergers conducted with the Australian SKA Pathfinder. We used data from four epochs of the Rapid ASKAP Conti…
Common envelopes in massive stars III. The obstructive role of radiation transport in envelope ejection
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Daniel J. Price +2
We present 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations of common-envelope (CE) evolution involving a 12 solar mass red supergiant donor and a 3 solar mass companion. Existing 3D simulat…
Common envelopes at StanFest
Ilya Mandel, Ryosuke Hirai, Lewis Picker
We describe some of our group's recent work on common envelopes. Our goal is to understand the onset and outcomes of dynamically unstable mass transfer, including the properties of…
Evolution of the Convective Core Mass during the Main Sequence
Minori Shikauchi, Ryosuke Hirai, Ilya Mandel
We construct a semi-analytical model that describes the convective core mass evolution of massive stars experiencing mass loss during the main-sequence stage. We first conduct a su…
