Giant Tidal Tails of Helium Escaping the Hot Jupiter HAT-P-32 b
Zhoujian Zhang, Caroline V. Morley, Michael Gully-Santiago +14
Capturing planets in the act of losing their atmospheres provides rare opportunities to probe their evolution history. Such analysis has been enabled by observations of the helium…
Left Ringing: Betelgeuse Illuminates the Connection Between Convective outbursts, Mode switching, and Mass Ejection in Red Supergiants
Morgan MacLeod, Andrea Antoni, Caroline D. Huang +2
Betelgeuse, the nearest red supergiant, dimmed to an unprecedented level in early 2020. The star emerged from this Great Dimming episode with its typical, roughly 400-day pulsation…
Observations of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in the Galaxy
Morgan MacLeod, Jonathan Grindlay
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs), with masses comparable to stars, are a major constituent of our Milky Way galaxy. This chapter describes the landscape of challenging, and long-soug…
On the Accretion-Fed Growth of Neutron Stars During Common Envelope
Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
This paper models the orbital inspiral of a neutron star (NS) through the envelope of its giant-branch companion during a common envelope (CE) episode. These CE episodes are necess…
Asymmetric Accretion Flows within a Common Envelope
Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
This paper examines flows in the immediate vicinity of stars and compact objects dynamically inspiralling within a common envelope (CE). Flow in the vicinity of the embedded object…
Compact Stellar Binary Assembly in the First Nuclear Star Clusters and r-Process Synthesis in the Early Universe
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Michele Trenti, Morgan MacLeod +3
Investigations of elemental abundances in the ancient and most metal deficient stars are extremely important because they serve as tests of variable nucleosynthesis pathways and ca…
