Supernova Shock Breakout from a Red Supergiant
Kevin Schawinski, Stephen Justham, Christian Wolf +21
Massive stars undergo a violent death when the supply of nuclear fuel in their cores is exhausted, resulting in a catastrophic "core-collapse" supernova. Such events are usually on…
Binaries with Compact Components: Theoretical and Observational Challenges
Philipp Podsiadlowski, Eric Pfahl, Saul Rappaport
We report on recent progress in our theoretical understanding of X-ray binaries, which has largely been driven by new observations, and illustrate the interplay between theory and…
The ruff of equatorial emission around the SS433 jets: its spectral index and origin
Katherine M Blundell, Michael P Rupen, Amy J Mioduszewski +2
We present unique radio observations of SS433, using MERLIN, the VLBA, and the VLA, which allow us to, for the first time, properly image and derive a meaningful spectral index for…
A Comprehensive Study of Neutron Star Retention in Globular Clusters
Eric Pfahl, Saul Rappaport, Philipp Podsiadlowski
(abridged) Observations of very high speeds among pulsars in the Galactic disk present a puzzle regarding neutron stars in globular clusters. The inferred characteristic speed of s…
Formation of Compact Binaries in Globular Clusters
Saul Rappaport, Eric Pfahl, Fred Rasio +1
We report here on two complementary population synthesis studies which relate directly to the formation and evolution of neutron star binaries in globular clusters. In the first, w…
