A case for Case A: detailed look at binary black hole formation through stable mass transfer

Max M. Briel, Tassos Fragos, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +8

In isolated binary evolution, binary black hole (BBH) mergers are generally formed through stable mass transfer (SMT) or common envelope evolution. In recent years, the SMT channel…

A binary merger product as the direct progenitor of a Type II-P supernova

Zexi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Emmanouil Zapartas +16

Type II-P supernovae (SNe II-P) are the most common class of core-collapse SNe in the local Universe and play critical roles in many aspects of astrophysics. Since decades ago theo…

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…
