SCATTER Common Envelope Formalism for Triples
Rosanne Di Stefano, Amaan Khwaja, Chiaki Kobayashi
Many stars are components of triple-star systems, or of higher-order multiples. In such systems mass transfer is common, and when the transfer is dynamically unstable, a common env…
A soft and transient ultraluminous X-ray source with 6-h modulation in the NGC 300 galaxy
A. Sacchi, P. Esposito, D. de Martino +13
We investigate the nature of CXOU J005440.5-374320 (J0054), a peculiar bright ( erg/s) and soft X-ray transient in the spiral galaxy NGC 300 with a 6-hour per…
A Catalogue of Potential Post Common Envelope Binaries
Matthias U. Kruckow, Patrick G. Neunteufel, Rosanne Di Stefano +2
We present a catalogue containing 839 candidate post common envelope systems. Common envelope evolution is very important in stellar astrophysics, particularly in the context of ve…
A wide star-black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements
Jifeng Liu, Haotong Zhang, Andrew W. Howard +52
All stellar mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted by gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with…
Detecting Gravitational Self Lensing from Stellar-Mass Binaries Composed of Black Holes or Neutron Stars
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Rosanne Di Stefano
We explore a unique electromagnetic signature of stellar-mass compact-object binaries long before they are detectable in gravitational waves. We show that gravitational lensing of…
Models and Simulations for the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC)
R. Kessler, G. Narayan, A. Avelino +26
We describe the simulated data sample for the "Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge" (PLAsTiCC), a publicly available challenge to classify transient…
