The incidence of stellar mergers and mass gainers among massive stars
S. E. de Mink, H. Sana, N. Langer +2
Because the majority of massive stars are born as members of close binary systems, populations of massive main-sequence stars contain stellar mergers and products of binary mass tr…
The ages of young star clusters, massive blue stragglers and the upper mass limit of stars: analysing age dependent stellar mass functions
Fabian R. N. Schneider, Robert G. Izzard, Selma E. de Mink +7
Massive stars rapidly change their masses through strong stellar winds and mass transfer in binary systems. We show that such mass changes leave characteristic signatures in stella…
Modelling binary rotating stars by new population synthesis code BONNFIRES
Herbert H. B. Lau, Robert G. Izzard, Fabian R. N. Schneider
BONNFIRES, a new generation of population synthesis code, can calculate nuclear reaction, various mixing processes and binary interaction in a timely fashion. We use this new popul…
R144 revealed as a double-lined spectroscopic binary
H. Sana, T. van Boeckel, F. Tramper +7
R144 is a WN6h star in the 30 Doradus region. It is suspected to be a binary because of its high luminosity and its strong X-ray flux, but no periodicity could be established so fa…
