Diagnosing the Properties and Evolutionary Fates of Black Hole and Wolf-Rayet X-ray Binaries as Potential Gravitational Wave Sources for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Network
Zi-Yuan Wang, Ying Qin, Georges Meynet +7
IC 10 X-1, NGC 300 X-1, and Cyg X-3 constitute a unique class of X-ray binaries in which a stellar-mass black hole (BH) accretes material from a Wolf-Rayet (WR). These systems are…

Stable Case BB/BC Mass Transfer to Form GW190425-like Massive Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Ying Qin, Jin-Ping Zhu, Georges Meynet +14
On April 25th, 2019, the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration discovered a Gravitational-wave (GW) signal from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger, i.e., GW190425. Due to the inferred large tot…
