A Stellar Role Reversal: Multiple Features in the Mass and Mass Ratio Distributions of Merging Binary Black Holes from Stable Mass Transfer
Gina Chen, Katelyn Breivik, Lieke A. C. van Son
Observations of gravitational wave events have enabled the measurement of the merging binary black hole (BBH) mass function. This mass function encodes the physical interactions wh…
The diverse outcomes of binary white dwarf mergers and connections to Galactic LISA sources
Kyle Kremer, Katelyn Breivik, Claire S. Ye
In the coming decade, the millihertz gravitational wave observatory LISA will provide the best constraints yet on the tens of thousands of close white dwarf binaries in the Milky W…
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…
