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…

Irregularly Sampled Time Series Interpolation for Binary Evolution Simulations Using Dynamic Time Warping

Ugur Demir, Philipp M. Srivastava, Aggelos Katsaggelos +9

Binary stellar evolution simulations are computationally expensive. Stellar population synthesis relies on these detailed evolution models at a fundamental level. Producing thousan…

HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh

Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19

Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…

The power of binaries on stripped-envelope supernovae across metallicity: uniform progenitor parameter space and persistently low ejecta masses, but subtype diversity

D. Souropanis, E. Zapartas, T. Pessi +9

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) originate from massive stars that lose their envelopes through binary interactions or stellar winds. The connection between SESN subtypes and t…

The Demographics of Binary Companions to Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: Confronting Observations with Population Synthesis

E. Zapartas, O. D. Fox, J. Su +15

Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) mark the deaths of massive stars without hydrogen-rich envelopes. Most SESNe likely originate from binary systems where a companion stripped th…
