White dwarf-neutron star binaries: a plausible pathway for long-duration gamma-ray bursts from compact object mergers?
A. A. Chrimes, N. Gaspari, A. J. Levan +7
Two long-duration gamma-ray bursts were recently discovered with kilonovae, the signature of r-process element production in a compact binary merger, rather than supernovae. This h…
The evolution of accretor stars in binary systems due to accretion of increasingly helium-rich material
Sean Richards, Jan Eldridge, Sohan Ghodla +1
The recent discovery of examples of intermediate-mass helium stars have offered new insights into interacting binaries. These observations will allow significant improvements in ou…
The rates and host galaxies of pair-instability supernovae through cosmic time: Predictions from BPASS and IllustrisTNG
Max M. Briel, Benjamin Metha, Jan J. Eldridge +2
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) have long been predicted to be the final fates of near-zero-metallicity very massive stars (, $\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{ZAMS} \gtrsim 1…
Observational implications of cosmologically coupled black holes
Sohan Ghodla, Richard Easther, M. M. Briel +1
It was recently suggested that "cosmologically coupled" black holes with masses that increase in proportion to the volume of the Universe might constitute the physical basis of dar…
Can neutron star mergers alone explain the r-process enrichment of the Milky Way?
Chiaki Kobayashi, Ilya Mandel, Krzysztof Belczynski +9
Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low…
New constraints on the Bray conservation-of-momentum natal kick model from multiple distinct observations
S. M. Richards, J. J. Eldridge, M. M. Briel +2
Natal supernova kicks, the linear momentum compact remnants receive during their formation, are an essential part of binary population synthesis (BPS) models. Although these kicks…
VFTS 243 as predicted by the BPASS fiducial models
H. F. Stevance, S. Ghodla, S. Richards +3
The recent discovery of an unambiguous quiescent BH and main sequence O star companion in VFTS 243 opens the door to new constraints on theoretical stellar evolution and population…
Estimating Transient Rates from Cosmological Simulations and BPASS
M. M. Briel, J. J. Eldridge, E. R. Stanway +2
The detection rate of electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) transients is growing exponentially. As the accuracy of the transient rates will significantly improve over t…
