Detailed evolutionary models of massive contact binaries: I. Model grids and synthetic populations for the Magellanic Clouds
Athira Menon, Norbert Langer, Selma E. de Mink +8
The majority of close massive binary stars with initial periods of a few days experience a contact phase, in which both stars overflow their Roche lobes simultaneously. We perform…
The fates of massive stars: exploring uncertainties in stellar evolution with METISSE
Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +2
In the era of advanced electromagnetic and gravitational wave detectors, it has become increasingly important to effectively combine and study the impact of stellar evolution on bi…
Bonn Optimized Stellar Tracks (BoOST). Simulated Populations of Massive and Very Massive Stars for Astrophysical Applications
Dorottya Szécsi, Poojan Agrawal, Richard Wünsch +1
Massive and very massive stars can play important roles in stellar populations by ejecting strong stellar winds and exploding in energetic phenomena. It is therefore imperative tha…
The effect of the metallicity-specific star formation history on double compact object mergers
Coenraad J. Neijssel, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Simon Stevenson +7
We investigate the impact of uncertainty in the metallicity-specific star formation rate over cosmic time on predictions of the rates and masses of double compact object mergers ob…
On the formation history of Galactic double neutron stars
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Coenraad J. Neijssel, Simon Stevenson +9
Double neutron stars (DNSs) have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, and the recent discovery of gravitational waves from the DNS merger GW170817 adds to the known DNS populat…
Supergiants and their shells in young globular clusters
Dorottya Szécsi, Jonathan Mackey, Norbert Langer
Anomalous surface abundances are observed in a fraction of the low-mass stars of Galactic globular clusters, that may originate from hot-hydrogen-burning products ejected by a prev…
