Constraints from gravitational wave detections of binary black hole mergers on the rate
Robert Farmer, Mathieu Renzo, Selma de Mink +2
Gravitational wave detections are starting to allow us to probe the physical processes in the evolution of very massive stars through the imprints they leave on their final remnant…
Polluting the pair-instability mass gap for binary black holes through super-Eddington accretion in isolated binaries
L. A. C. van Son, S. E. de Mink, F. S. Broekgaarden +6
The theory for single stellar evolution predicts a gap in the mass distribution of black holes (BHs) between approximately 45-130M, the so-called "pair-instability mass g…
The expansion of stripped-envelope stars: consequences for supernovae and gravitational-wave progenitors
E. Laplace, Y. Götberg, S. E. de Mink +2
Massive binaries that merge as compact objects are the progenitors of gravitational-wave sources. Most of these binaries experience one or more phases of mass transfer, during whic…
Predictions for the hydrogen-free ejecta of pulsational pair-instability supernovae
M. Renzo, R. Farmer, S. Justham +5
Present time-domain astronomy efforts will unveil a variety of rare transients. We focus here on pulsational pair-instability evolution, which can result in signatures observable w…
Laminar Flame Speeds in Degenerate Oxygen-Neon Mixtures
Josiah Schwab, R. Farmer, F. X. Timmes
The collapse of degenerate oxygen-neon cores (i.e., electron-capture supernovae or accretion-induced collapse) proceeds through a phase in which a deflagration wave ("flame") forms…
