An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
The diverse lives of progenitors of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae: the role of binary interaction
Emmanouil Zapartas, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +7
Hydrogen-rich supernovae, known as Type II (SNe II), are the most common class of explosions observed following the collapse of the core of massive stars. We use analytical estimat…
Predicting the Presence of Companions for Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: The Case of the Broad-Lined Type Ic SN 2002ap
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, S. D. Van Dyk +10
Many young, massive stars are found in close binaries. Using population synthesis simulations we predict the likelihood of a companion star being present when these massive stars e…
Delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae with late events resulting from binary interaction
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, R. G. Izzard +8
Most massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, are in close binary systems and may interact with their companion through mass transfer or merging. We undertake a…
