A Not-So-Compact Companion: Massive, Oversize White Dwarf in a Post-Common Envelope Eclipsing Binary
Erin M. Motherway, Evan Linck, Robert D. Mathieu +5
We provide a detailed characterization of 2M07515777+1807352, a post-common envelope eclipsing binary system with a 10.3 d, nearly, but not quite, circular orbit (e = 0.02). This s…
Properties of Core Collapse Supernovae from Binary Population Synthesis
Mark Martinez, Anna O'Grady, Katelyn Breivik +1
Core collapse supernovae (CCSNe) impact many areas of astrophysics, including compact object formation and gravitational waves, but many uncertainties remain in our understanding o…
Probing Binary Architectures of Lithium-Rich Giants in GALAH with COSMIC and Stellar Models
Maryum Sayeed, Selina Yang, Giulia Cinquegrana +5
Surface lithium is depleted when a star goes through the first dredge-up phase, yet of red giants are found to be Li-rich. The formation mechanism for these remains uncertain…
Calibration of Binary Population Synthesis Models Using White Dwarf Binaries from APOGEE, GALEX and Gaia
A. C. Rubio, K. Breivik, C. Badenes +5
The effectiveness and stability of mass transfer in binaries system are crucial in determining its final product. Rapid binary population synthesis (BPS) codes simplify the complex…
