New gravitational-wave data support a bimodal black-hole mass distribution
R. Willcox, F. R. N. Schneider, E. Laplace +7
Detailed stellar evolution and supernova models yield a bimodal black-hole mass distribution with a narrow peak around 10 solar masses from stars within a narrow range of progenito…
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…
Supernovae from stellar mergers and accretors of binary mass transfer: Implications for Type IIP, 1987A-like and interacting supernovae
F. R. N. Schneider, E. Laplace, Ph. Podsiadlowski
As most massive stars are born in binary and other multiple-star systems, many are expected to exchange mass with a companion star or merge with it during their lives. This means t…
Supernova-induced binary-interaction-powered supernovae: a model for SN2022jli
Ryosuke Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Peter Hoeflich +4
We present 3D hydrodynamical modelling of supernova-induced binary-interaction-powered supernovae; a scenario proposed for the peculiar type Ic supernova SN2022jli. In this scenari…
Neutron star kicks plus rockets as a mechanism for forming wide low-eccentricity neutron star binaries
Ryosuke Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Alexander Heger +1
Recent neutron star surface observations corroborate a long-standing theory that neutron stars may be accelerated over extended periods after their birth. We analyze how these prol…
An upper limit on the spins of merging binary black holes formed through binary evolution
Pablo Marchant, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Ilya Mandel
As gravitational wave detectors improve, observations of black hole (BH) mergers will provide the joint distribution of their masses and spins. This will be a critical benchmark to…
Evolution and final fate of massive post-common-envelope binaries
Dandan Wei, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Philipp Podsiadlowski +3
Mergers of neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs) are nowadays observed routinely thanks to gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy. In the isolated binary-evolution channel, a common…
