Strongly Magnetized Super-Eddington Accretion: How Spin and Accretion Rate Regulate Energy Output and Mass Loss
Tom Man Kwan, Lixin Dai, Cheuk Kwan Kan +5
Strongly magnetized super-Eddington accretion flows power many important astrophysical systems, but how black hole parameters control their output is unclear. We present 32 general…
High-mass binary black hole mergers from detailed binary evolution models
Max M. Briel, Olcay Bıyıklı, Tassos Fragos +10
The paper uses detailed binary evolution simulations to test whether super‑Eddington mass transfer in isolated binaries can produce the observed high‑mass binary black hole mergers…
Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems
Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14
With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…
Disk-Regulated Mass Transfer Between Rotating Non-Degenerate Stars: Insights from Be and sdOB Binaries
Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Vicky Kalogera +3
Mass transfer between non-degenerate stars is a fundamental but still poorly understood process in binary evolution. The commonly used rotationally limited accretion prescription i…
POSYDON Version 2: Population Synthesis with Detailed Binary-Evolution Simulations across a Cosmological Range of Metallicities
Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera, Max Briel +21
Whether considering rare astrophysical events on cosmological scales or unresolved stellar populations, accurate models must account for the integrated contribution from the entire…
Mass-gap Black Holes in Coalescing Neutron Star Black Hole Binaries
Zepei Xing, Vicky Kalogera, Tassos Fragos +10
The existence of a mass gap of between the heaviest neutron stars (NSs) and the lightest black holes (BHs), inferred from the BH mass distribution in low mass X-ra…
