Disk-Regulated Mass Transfer Between Rotating Non-Degenerate Stars: Insights from Be and sdOB Binaries
Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Vicky Kalogera +3
Mass transfer between non-degenerate stars is a fundamental but still poorly understood process in binary evolution. The commonly used rotationally limited accretion prescription i…
Challenges in Forming Millisecond Pulsar-Black Holes from Isolated Binaries
Camille Liotine, Vicky Kalogera, Jeff J. Andrews +12
Binaries harboring a millisecond pulsar (MSP) and a black hole (BH) are a key observing target for current and upcoming pulsar surveys. We model the formation and evolution of such…
Mass Transfer in Eccentric Orbits with Self-consistent Stellar Evolution
Kyle Akira Rocha, Rachel Hur, Vicky Kalogera +12
We investigate Roche lobe overflow mass transfer (MT) in eccentric binary systems between stars and compact objects (COs), modeling the coupled evolution of both the star and the o…
Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Detailed Binary Evolution Simulations
Philipp M. Srivastava, Ugur Demir, Aggelos Katsaggelos +14
Modeling of large populations of binary stellar systems is an intergral part of a many areas of astrophysics, from radio pulsars and supernovae to X-ray binaries, gamma-ray bursts,…
POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities
Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…
