Optically thick winds of very massive stars suppress intermediate-mass black hole formation
Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli, Lumen Boco +3
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) are the link between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. Gravitational waves have started unveiling a population of IMBHs in the $\sim…
Metal-poor single Wolf-Rayet stars: The interplay of optically thick winds and rotation
Lumen Boco, Michela Mapelli, Andreas A. C. Sander +7
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts 12 known Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, seven of which are apparently single. Their formation is a challenge for current stellar evolution models bec…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Impact of accretion-induced chemically homogeneous evolution on stellar and compact binary populations
Marco Dall'Amico, Michela Mapelli, Giuliano Iorio +5
In binary star systems, mass transfer can spin up the accretor, possibly leading to efficient chemical mixing and chemically quasi-homogeneous evolution (CHE). Here, we explore the…
Wolf-Rayet -- compact object binaries as progenitors of binary compact objects
Erika Korb, Michela Mapelli, Giuliano Iorio +2
Binaries with a Wolf-Rayet star and a compact object (WR-COs), either a black hole (BH) or a neutron star (NS), have been proposed as possible progenitors for the binary compact ob…
The boring history of Gaia BH3 from isolated binary evolution
Giuliano Iorio, Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli +15
Gaia BH3 is the first observed dormant black hole (BH) with a mass of M and represents the first confirmation that such massive BHs are associated with metal-…
Compact object mergers: exploring uncertainties from stellar and binary evolution with SEVN
Giuliano Iorio, Michela Mapelli, Guglielmo Costa +9
Population-synthesis codes are an unique tool to explore the parameter space of massive binary star evolution and binary compact object (BCO) formation. Most population-synthesis c…
