Linking high-mass X-ray binaries to binary compact object mergers in Milky Way-like galaxies
Felipe Vivanco Cádiz, M. Celeste Artale, Nicola Masetti +5
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) constitute a potential intermediate phase connecting massive stellar binaries to the formation of coalescing binary compact objects (BCOs). Yet, th…

Towards A Universal Analytical Model of Population III Star Formation: A Bridge Between Cosmological Scales and Protostars
James Gurian, Boyuan Liu, Donghui Jeong +4
We construct an analytical model of Population III star formation that connects the cosmological radiation background to sub-AU protostellar disk fragmentation, a dynamic range ina…

Impact of Stochastic Pop~III X-ray Binaries on the Cosmological 21-cm Signal
Saswata Dasgupta, Boyuan Liu, Anastasia Fialkov +3
High-mass X-ray binaries are one of the primary drivers of the 21-cm signal from Cosmic Dawn and Reionization, playing a leading role in the thermal history of the intergalactic me…
