Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond

H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162

Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…

Properties of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus

P. L. Dufton, D. J. Lennon, J. I. Villasenor +5

The evolutionary status of Be-type stars remains unclear, with both single-star and binary pathways having been proposed. Here, VFTS spectroscopy of 73 Be-type stars, in the spectr…

Stellar mergers as the origin of the blue main-sequence band in young star clusters

Chen Wang, Norbert Langer, Abel Schootemeijer +10

Recent high-quality Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry shows that the main sequences (MS) stars of young star clusters form two discrete components in the color-magnitude diag…

Constraining the Overcontact Phase in Massive Binary Evolution I. Mixing in V382 Cyg, VFTS 352, and OGLE SMC-SC10 108086

Michael Abdul-Masih, Hugues Sana, Calum Hawcroft +10

As potential progenitors of several exotic phenomena including gravitational wave sources, magnetic stars, and Be stars, close massive binary systems probe a crucial area of the pa…

Successful Common Envelope Ejection and Binary Neutron Star Formation in 3D Hydrodynamics

Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Rosa Wallace Everson, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +10

A binary neutron star merger has been observed in a multi-messenger detection of gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Binary neutron stars that merge within…

Reconstructing EUV spectrum of star forming regions from millimeter recombination lines of HI, HeI, and HeII

Lena Murchikova, Eric J. Murphy, Dariusz C. Lis +9

The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectra of distant star-forming regions cannot be probed directly using either ground- or space-based telescopes due to the high cross-section for int…
