Sub-Millisecond Pulsars: Missing or Impossible?
T. M. Tauris, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, R. Senzel +7
The minimum spin period attainable by a neutron star has been debated since the discovery of the first millisecond pulsar in 1982. A neutron star rotating faster than 1 ms would ha…
The young massive SMC cluster NGC 330 seen by MUSE III. Stellar parameters and rotational velocities
J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana, P. L. Dufton +11
The origin of initial rotation rates of stars, and how a star's surface rotational velocity changes during the evolution, either by internal angular momentum transport or due to in…
A massive helium star with a sufficiently strong magnetic field to form a magnetar
T. Shenar, G. A. Wade, P. Marchant +13
Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars; their formation mechanism is unknown. Hot helium-rich stars with spectra dominated by emission lines are known as Wolf-Rayet stars. W…
Interacting supernovae from wide massive binary systems
Andrea Ercolino, Harim Jin, Norbert Langer +1
Many supernovae (SNe) imply an interaction of the SN ejecta with matter (CSM) surrounding the progenitor star. This suggests that many massive stars may undergo various degrees of…
The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme II. VFTS 291: A stripped star from a recent mass transfer phase
J. I. Villaseñor, D. J. Lennon, A. Picco +12
Recent studies of massive binaries with putative black hole companions have uncovered a phase of binary evolution that has not been observed before, featuring a bloated stripped st…
A helium-burning white dwarf binary as a supersoft X-ray source
J. Greiner, C. Maitra, F. Haberl +12
Type Ia supernovae are cosmic distance indicators, and the main source of iron in the Universe, but their formation paths are still debated. Several dozen supersoft X-ray sources,…
