A Stellar Role Reversal: Multiple Features in the Mass and Mass Ratio Distributions of Merging Binary Black Holes from Stable Mass Transfer
Gina Chen, Katelyn Breivik, Lieke A. C. van Son
Observations of gravitational wave events have enabled the measurement of the merging binary black hole (BBH) mass function. This mass function encodes the physical interactions wh…
Implications of modern mass-loss rates for massive stars
JD Merritt, Simon Stevenson, Andreas Sander +7
Massive stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through stellar winds at various stages of their lives, including on the main sequence, during the red supergiant phase, and…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74
Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…
Investigating the Chemically Homogeneous Evolution Channel and its Role in the Formation of the Enigmatic Binary Black Hole Progenitor Candidate HD 5980
K. Sharpe, L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink +3
Chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) is a promising channel for forming massive binary black holes. The enigmatic, massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary HD 5980 A&B has been proposed to…
