Searching for core-collapse supernovae in binaries with ZTF
Sylvia J. Zhu, Jakob Nordin, Emma de Oña-Wilhelmi +1
Context. Stripped envelope supernovae occur in massive stars that have lost their outer layers before exploding, possibly from binary interactions. Recently, SN 2022jli was detecte…
Binary-induced mass increase and helium enrichment of the envelopes of Type~IIP supernova progenitors
Caroline Mannes, Norbert Langer, Andrea Ercolino
Binary interactions are expected to play a major role in shaping the progenitor population of core-collapse supernovae, particularly in the era of deep, high-cadence transient surv…
Progenitor models of supernovae interacting with their binary companions
Andrea Ercolino
The appearance of nearly all core-collapse (CC) supernovae (SNe) is largely affected by the interaction between their progenitors and a close binary companion. Using a comprehensiv…
Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models
Andrea Ercolino, Norbert Langer, Avishay Gal-Yam +6
Most massive stars live in binary systems. When the first supernova (SN) in a binary occurs, the ejecta hit the companion, which may inflate as a consequence, and then interacts wi…
Hidden massive eclipsing binaries in red supergiant systems: The hierarchical triple system KQ Puppis and other candidates
D. Jadlovský, L. Molnár, A. Ercolino +26
The majority of massive stars are part of binary systems that may interact during their evolution. However, not many RSGs are known binaries, and only a few have constrained orbita…
The drastic impact of Eddington-limit induced mass ejections on massive star populations
D. Pauli, N. Langer, A. Schootemeijer +6
Massive stars are the key engines of the Universe. However, their evolution and thus their ionizing feedback are still not fully understood. One of the largest gaps in current stel…
