A rotating white dwarf shows different compositions on its opposite faces
Ilaria Caiazzo, Kevin B. Burdge, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +35
White dwarfs, the extremely dense remnants left behind by most stars after their death, are characterised by a mass comparable to that of the Sun compressed into the size of an Ear…
The fastest stars in the Galaxy
Kareem El-Badry, Ken J. Shen, Vedant Chandra +18
We report a spectroscopic search for hypervelocity white dwarfs (WDs) that are runaways from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and related thermonuclear explosions. Candidates are select…
A close-in giant planet escapes engulfment by its star
Marc Hon, Daniel Huber, Nicholas Z. Rui +39
When main-sequence stars expand into red giants, they are expected to engulf close-in planets. Until now, the absence of planets with short orbital periods around post-expansion, c…
Connecting the Young Pulsars in Milky Way Globular Clusters with White Dwarf Mergers and the M81 Fast Radio Burst
Kyle Kremer, Jim Fuller, Anthony L. Piro +1
The detections of four apparently young radio pulsars in the Milky Way globular clusters are difficult to reconcile with standard neutron star formation scenarios associated with m…
Probing pre-supernova mass loss in double-peaked Type Ibc supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility
Kaustav K. Das, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Jesper Sollerman +34
Eruptive mass loss of massive stars prior to supernova (SN) explosion is key to understanding their evolution and end fate. An observational signature of pre-SN mass loss is the de…
Tidal Spin-up of Black Hole Progenitor Stars
Linhao Ma, Jim Fuller
Gravitational wave observations indicate the existence of merging black holes (BHs) with high spin (), whose formation pathways are still an open question. A possible…
