Fading into darkness: A weak mass ejection and low-efficiency fallback accompanying black hole formation in M31-2014-DS1
Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson +10
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) can form from the near-complete collapse of massive stars, causing them to abruptly disappear. The star M31-2014-DS1 in the Andromeda galaxy was repo…
Tidal Amplitudes in the Magellanic Cloud Population of Heartbeat Stars
Morgan MacLeod, Abraham Loeb
Heartbeat (HB) stars exhibit pulses in their light curves once per orbit due to ellipsoidal distortions from strong tides at periapse. We analyze the population of HB stars in the…
Radial Velocity and Astrometric Evidence for a Close Companion to Betelgeuse
Morgan MacLeod, Sarah Blunt, Robert J. De Rosa +10
We examine a century of radial velocity, visual magnitude, and astrometric observations of the nearest red supergiant, Betelgeuse, in order to reexamine the century-old assertion t…
