On Rejuvenation in Massive Binary Systems
L. M. Dray, C. A. Tout
We introduce a set of stellar models for massive stars whose evolution has been affected by mass transfer in a binary system, at a range of metallicities. As noted by other authors…
An alternative to common envelope evolution
Martin E. Beer, Lynnette M. Dray, Andrew R. King +1
We investigate the evolution of interacting binaries where the donor star is a low-mass giant more massive than its companion. It is usual to assume that such systems undergo commo…
Young stars in the Galactic Centre: a potential intermediate-mass star origin
L. M. Dray, A. R. King, M. B. Davies
There has been recent speculation (Davies & King 2005) that the cores of intermediate-mass stars stripped of their envelopes by tidal interaction with the supermassive black hole i…
On the metallicity dependence of HMXBs
L. M. Dray
It is commonly assumed that high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) populations are little-affected by metallicity. However, the massive stars making up their progenitor systems depend on me…
Wolf-Rayet and O Star Runaway Populations from Supernovae
L. M. Dray, J. E. Dale, M. E. Beer +2
We present numerical simulations of the runaway fractions expected amongst O and Wolf-Rayet star populations resulting from stars ejected from binaries by the supernova of the comp…
Winds from massive stars: implications for the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Lynnette M. Dray, Piero Madau +1
Recent observations suggest that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows are produced by highly relativistic jets emitted in core-collapse explosions. The pre-ex…
