You're Gonna Need a Bigger Core: Calibrating Massive Star Models against Galactic OB-type Stars
Thibault Lechien, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +3
The evolution of massive stars above 8 M depends critically on the amount of mixing above the convective core during the main sequence. However, current models typically ex…
Thermal-timescale accretion does not always yield critical rotation in mass gainers
Chen Wang, Mike Y. M. Lau, Xiang-Dong Li +7
Binary evolution plays a central role in producing rapidly rotating stars. Previous studies have shown that mass gainers in binaries can reach critical rotation after accreting onl…
Dynamical binary interactions in the 2040s
Nadejda Blagorodnova, Ondřej Pejcha, Tomek Kamiński +15
Dynamical binary interactions such as common envelope (CE) evolution or stellar mergers are a critical phase in the formation of a wide variety of binary phenomena, ranging from bl…
AREPO-RSG: Aspherical Circumstellar Material and Winds from Pulsating Dusty Red Supergiants in Global 3D Radiation Hydrodynamic Simulations
Jing-Ze Ma, Stephen Justham, Ruediger Pakmor +3
Recent observations have revealed a surprisingly large fraction of hydrogen-rich supernovae (SNe) interacting with dense confined circumstellar material (CSM), whose origin is heav…
Violent mergers revisited: The origin of the fastest stars in the Galaxy
Rüdiger Pakmor, Ken J. Shen, Aakash Bhat +12
Binary systems of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs are one of the most promising candidates for the progenitor systems of Type Ia supernovae. Violent mergers, where the primary white…
A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
