Hot Jupiters from Secular Planet--Planet Interactions
Smadar Naoz, Will M. Farr, Yoram Lithwick +2
About 25 per cent of `hot Jupiters' (extrasolar Jovian-mass planets with close-in orbits) are actually orbiting counter to the spin direction of the star. Perturbations from a dist…
The Mass Distribution of Stellar-Mass Black Holes
Will M. Farr, Niharika Sravan, Andrew Cantrell +4
We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and…
Formation of the black-hole binary M33 X-7 via mass-exchange in a tight massive system
Francesca Valsecchi, Evert Glebbeek, Will M. Farr +5
M33 X-7 is among the most massive X-Ray binary stellar systems known, hosting a rapidly spinning 15.65 Msun black hole orbiting an underluminous 70 Msun Main Sequence companion in…
The intriguing evolutionary history of the massive black hole X-ray binary M33 X-7
Francesca Valsecchi, Evert Glebbeek, Will M. Farr +5
Black hole (BH) X-ray binaries (XRBs) are X-ray luminous binary systems comprising a BH accreting matter from a companion star. Understanding their origins sheds light on the still…
