Observational Constraints of Stellar Collapse: Diagnostic Probes of Nature's Extreme Matter Experiment
C. L. Fryer, W. Even, B. W. Grefenstette +1
Supernovae are Nature's high-energy, high density laboratory experiments, reaching densities in excess of nuclear densities and temperatures above 10MeV. Astronomers have built up…
The Fallback Mechanisms in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Tsing-Wai Wong, Christopher L. Fryer, Carola I. Ellinger +2
Although the details of the core-collapse supernova mechanism are not fully understood, it is generally accepted that the energy released in the collapse produces a shock that disr…
Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks. IV. The case of IC 10 X-1
Tsing-Wai Wong, Francesca Valsecchi, Asna Ansari +4
The extragalactic X-ray binary IC 10 X-1 has attracted attention as it is possibly the host of the most massive stellar-mass black-hole (BH) known to date. Here we consider all ava…
Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks. III. The case of Cygnus X-1
Tsing-Wai Wong, Francesca Valsecchi, Tassos Fragos +1
In recent years, accurate observational constraints become available for an increasing number of Galactic X-ray binaries. Together with proper motion measurements, we could reconst…
Constraints on Natal Kicks in Galactic Double Neutron Star Systems
Tsing-Wai Wong, Bart Willems, Vassiliki Kalogera
Since the discovery of the first double neutron star (DNS) system in 1975 by Hulse and Taylor, there are currently 8 confirmed DNS in our galaxy. For every system, the masses of bo…
A CO (J=3-2) Outflow Survey of the Elias 29 Region
R. S. Bussmann, T. W. Wong, A. S. Hedden +2
We present a 5'x5' integrated intensity map of 12CO (J=3-2) emission from the rho-Ophiuchi cloud core that traces low-luminosity outflow emission from two protostars: Elias 29 and,…
