1D stellar mergers: entropy sorting and PyMMAMS

Max Heller, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Jan Henneco +2

Stellar multiple systems are the norm, not the exception, with many systems undergoing interaction phases during their lifetimes. A subset of these interactions can lead to stellar…

A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

Explosions of pulsating red supergiants: a natural pathway for the diversity of Type II-P/L supernovae

V. A. Bronner, E. Laplace, F. R. N. Schneider +1

Red supergiants (RSGs), which are progenitors of hydrogen-rich Type II supernovae (SNe), have been known to pulsate from both observations and theory. The pulsations can be present…

Pulsations change the structures of massive stars before explosion: interpreting SN 2023ixf and SN 2024ggi

Eva Laplace, Vincent A. Bronner, Fabian R. N. Schneider +1

Massive red supergiants (RSGs) are known to become hydrodynamically unstable before they explode. Still, the vast majority of supernova (SN) models assume RSG progenitors in hydros…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Pipeline-Determined Physical Properties of OB Stars

J. M. Bestenlehner, Paul A. Crowther, V. A. Bronner +8

We aim to determine the physical properties of OB stars from the multi-epoch VLT/FLAMES BLOeM spectroscopic survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We apply a pipeline designed to an…

Going from 3D common-envelope simulations to fast 1D simulations

V. A. Bronner, F. R. N. Schneider, Ph. Podsiadlowski +1

One-dimensional (1D) methods for simulating the common-envelope (CE) phase offer advantages over three-dimensional (3D) simulations regarding their computational speed and feasibil…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

Thermonuclear explosions as Type II supernovae

Alexandra Kozyreva, Javier Moran-Fraile, Alexander Holas +5

We consider a binary stellar system, in which a low-mass, of 0.6 Msun, carbon-oxygen white dwarf (WD) mergers with a degenerate helium core of 0.4 Msun of a red giant. We analyse t…

Going from 3D to 1D: A one-dimensional approach to common-envelope evolution

V. A. Bronner, F. R. N. Schneider, Ph. Podsiadlowski +1

The common-envelope (CE) phase is a crucial stage in binary star evolution because the orbital separation can shrink drastically while ejecting the envelope of a giant star. Three-…
