From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10

Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…

Metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet binaries using detailed binary models: An absence of long-period systems at low metallicity

Max M. Briel, Eirini Kasdagli, Tassos Fragos +6

Observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in binaries in the SMC and LMC suggest a preference for short period ( days) orbits, with an apparent absence of WRs in long-peri…

High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models

Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10

Gravitational-wave observations reveal a population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers with primary masses above , extending into and potentially beyond…

Strongly Magnetized Super-Eddington Accretion: How Spin and Accretion Rate Regulate Energy Output and Mass Loss

Tom Man Kwan, Lixin Dai, Cheuk Kwan Kan +5

Strongly magnetized super-Eddington accretion flows power many important astrophysical systems, but how black hole parameters control their output is unclear. We present 32 general…

Stellar Population Spectra Incorporating Detailed Binary Evolution using POSYDON

Eirini Kasdagli, Jeff J. Andrews, Bret Lehmer +8

The accuracy of stellar population properties inferred through spectral energy distribution fitting hinges on the reliability of the underlying spectral models. Binary interactions…

Double Neutron Star Delay Times Across Cosmic Metallicities: The Role of Helium Star Progenitors

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Max Briel +5

Metallicity can play a significant role in massive binary evolution through its impact on the opacity within stellar interiors and wind-driven mass loss. In this work, we investiga…
