The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae

Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12

Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…

Mirror images of lensed star clusters with mismatched spectral energy distributions: A possible signature of top-heavy stellar initial mass functions and extreme stars in high-redshift star clusters

Erik Zackrisson, Jose M. Diego, Jose M. Palencia +4

Strongly lensed star clusters have recently been detected up to redshift in galaxy cluster fields using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). When pairs of mirror im…

Black Hole - Neutron Star and Binary Neutron Star Mergers from Population III and II stars

Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +9

Population III (Pop.III) stars are expected to be massive and to undergo minimal mass loss due to their lack of metals, making them ideal progenitors of black holes and neutron…

Impact of initial mass function on the chemical evolution of high-redshift galaxies

Boyuan Liu, Michela Mapelli, Volker Bromm +10

Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found evidence for an invariant relation between stellar mass, metallicity, and star formation rate up to $z\sim 8…

A new prescription for the spectral properties of population III stellar populations

Marie Lecroq, Stéphane Charlot, Alessandro Bressan +7

We investigated various emission properties of extremely low metallicity stellar populations in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), using the new GALSEVN model, which has shown promis…

Impact of accretion-induced chemically homogeneous evolution on stellar and compact binary populations

Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Giuliano Iorio +5

In binary star systems, mass transfer can spin up the accretor, possibly leading to efficient chemical mixing and chemically quasi-homogeneous evolution (CHE). Here, we explore the…

Wolf-Rayet -- compact object binaries as progenitors of binary compact objects

Erika Korb, Michela Mapelli, Giuliano Iorio +2

Binaries with a Wolf-Rayet star and a compact object (WR-COs), either a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS), have been proposed as possible progenitors for the binary compact ob…

Gravitational waves from mergers of Population III binary black holes: roles played by two evolution channels

Boyuan Liu, Tilman Hartwig, Nina S. Sartorio +6

The gravitational wave (GW) signal from binary black hole (BBH) mergers is a promising probe of Population III (Pop III) stars. To fully unleash the power of the GW probe, one impo…

Binary black hole mergers from Population III star clusters

Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Stefano Torniamenti +5

Binary black holes (BBHs) born from the evolution of Population III (Pop. III) stars are one of the main high-redshift targets for next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave (…

The boring history of Gaia BH3 from isolated binary evolution

Giuliano Iorio, Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli +15

Gaia BH3 is the first observed dormant black hole (BH) with a mass of M and represents the first confirmation that such massive BHs are associated with metal-…
