Type-Ia supernovae: new clues to their progenitors from the delay-time distribution
Dan Maoz
Despite their prominent role in cosmography, little is yet known about the nature of type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), from the identity of their progenitor systems, through the evoluti…
Cataclysmic Variables and Other Compact Binaries in the Globular Cluster NGC 362: Candidates from Chandra and HST
Bruce Margon, B. Beck-Winchatz, L. Homer +7
Highly sensitive and precise X-ray imaging from Chandra, combined with the superb spatial resolution of HST optical images, dramatically enhances our empirical understanding of com…
The evolution of massive binaries in a dense stellar cluster environment
D. Vanbeveren
Massive stars are among the most important objects in the Universe and many (most?) of them are formed in binaries. A selection of observational and theoretical facts that illustra…
Masses and envelope binding energies of primary stars at the onset of a common envelope
Marc van der Sluys, Michael Politano, Ronald E. Taam
We present basic properties of primary stars that initiate a common envelope (CE) in a binary, while on the giant branch. We use the population-synthesis code described in Politano…
Delay time distribution of type Ia supernovae: theory vs. observation
N. Mennekens, D. Vanbeveren, J. P. De Greve +1
Two formation scenarios are investigated for type Ia supernovae in elliptical galaxies: the single degenerate scenario (a white dwarf reaching the Chandrasekhar limit through accre…
Blue Straggler Formation in Clusters
Alison Sills
Blue stragglers are thought to be formed from the merger or coalescence of two stars, but the details of their formation in clusters has been difficult to disentangle. We discuss t…
Multi-wavelength study of High Mass X-ray Binaries
Sylvain Chaty
The INTEGRAL satellite has revealed a major population of supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries in our Galaxy, revolutionizing our understanding of binary systems and their evolution…
