Resolving the explosion of supernova 2023ixf in Messier 101 within its complex circumstellar environment
E. A. Zimmerman, I. Irani, P. Chen +54
Observing a supernova explosion shortly after it occurs can reveal important information about the physics of stellar explosions and the nature of the progenitor stars of supernova…
Constraints on neutrino natal kicks from black-hole binary VFTS 243
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Reinhold Willcox, Irene Tamborra +8
The recently reported observation of VFTS 243 is the first example of a massive black-hole binary system with negligible binary interaction following black-hole formation. The blac…
The role of stellar expansion on the formation of gravitational wave sources
A. Romagnolo, K. Belczynski, J. Klencki +3
Massive stars are the progenitors of black holes and neutron stars, the mergers of which can be detected with gravitational waves (GW). The expansion of massive stars is one of the…
Phase-resolved spectroscopic analysis of the eclipsing black hole X-ray binary M33 X-7: System properties, accretion, and evolution
V. Ramachandran, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +10
M33 X-7 is the only known eclipsing black hole high mass X-ray binary. The system is reported to contain a very massive O supergiant donor and a massive black hole in a short orbit…
An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
On the apparent absence of WR+NS systems: the curious case of WR124
J. A. Toala, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +8
Among different types of massive stars in advanced evolutionary stages is the enigmatic WN8h type. There are only a few Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars with this spectral type in our Galaxy.…
Measuring the stellar wind parameters in IGR J17544-2619 and Vela X-1 constrains the accretion physics in Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient and classical Supergiant X-ray Binaries
A. Gimenez-Garcia, T. Shenar, J. M. Torrejon +9
Classical Supergiant X-ray Binaries (SGXBs) and Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) are two types of High-mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) that present similar donors but, at the s…
A Coordinated X-ray and Optical Campaign of the Nearby Massive Binary Orionis Aa: II. X-ray Variability
J. S. Nichols, D. P. Huenemoerder, M. F. Corcoran +18
We present time-resolved and phase-resolved variability studies of an extensive X-ray high-resolution spectral dataset of the Orionis Aa binary system. The four observations, o…
