Binary imposters: Mergers in massive hierarchical triple stars
F. Kummer, G. Simion, S. Toonen +1
Massive stars are often born in triples, where gravitational dynamics and stellar interactions play a crucial role in shaping their evolution. One such pathway includes the merger…
Detailed Simulations of Massive Hierarchical Triple Star Systems - Exploring the impact of the stellar physics on the evolutionary pathways of massive hierarchical triple systems
Luca Sciarini, Sylvia Ekström, Floris Kummer +4
Recent observations estimate that 30% of early B and O-type stars are found in triple systems. So far, the evolution of triple star systems has mainly been modeled using fast stell…
BH-BH mergers with & without EM counterpart: A model for stable tertiary mass transfer in hierarchical triple systems
F. Kummer, S. Toonen, A. Dorozsmai +2
Triple stars are prevalent within the population of observed stars. Their evolution, compared to binaries, is notably more complex, influenced by unique dynamical, tidal, and mass…
Massive stellar triples on the edge: A numerical study of the evolution and final outcomes of destabilized massive triples
C. W. Bruenech, T. Boekholt, F. Kummer +1
Massive stars reside predominantly in triples or higher-order multiples. Their lives can be significantly affected by three-body interactions, making it an important area of study…
Stellar triples with chemically homogeneously evolving inner binaries
Andris Dorozsmai, Silvia Toonen, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +2
Observations suggest that massive stellar triples are common. However, their evolution is not yet fully understood. We investigate the evolution of hierarchical triples in which th…
The Main Evolutionary Pathways of Massive Hierarchical Triple Stars
F. Kummer, S. Toonen, A. de Koter
So far, stellar population studies have mainly focused on the evolution of single and binary stars. Recent observations show that triple and higher order multiple star systems are…
The redshift evolution of the binary black hole merger rate: a weighty matter
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, T. Callister +7
Gravitational wave detectors are starting to reveal the redshift evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) merger rate, . We make predictions for $R_{\mathrm{BB…
Rapid stellar and binary population synthesis with COMPAS
Team COMPAS, :, Jeff Riley +23
Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS; https://compas.science) is a public rapid binary population synthesis code. COMPAS generates populations of…
