Solar evolution models with a central black hole

Earl P. Bellinger, Matt E. Caplan, Taeho Ryu +6

Hawking (1971) proposed that the Sun may harbor a primordial black hole whose accretion supplies some of the solar luminosity. Such an object would have formed within the first 1 s…

Testing Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA)

William M. Wolf, Josiah Schwab, R. Farmer +1

Regular, automated testing is a foundational principle of modern software development. Numerous widely-used continuous integration systems exist, but they are often not suitable fo…

Pulsational pair-instability supernovae in gravitational-wave and electromagnetic transients

D. D. Hendriks, L. A. C. van Son, M. Renzo +2

Current observations of binary black-hole ({BBH}) merger events show support for a feature in the primary BH-mass distribution at , previously interpr…

Close Encounters of Star - Black Hole Binaries with Single Stars

Taeho Ryu, Selma de Mink, Rob Farmer +3

Multi-body dynamical interactions of binaries with other objects are one of the main driving mechanisms for the evolution of star clusters. It is thus important to bring our unders…

Observational predictions for Thorne-Żytkow objects

R. Farmer, M. Renzo, Y. Götberg +3

Thorne-ytkow objects (TO) are potential end products of the merger of a neutron star with a non-degenerate star. In this work, we have computed the first grid of evolutionary…

Nucleosynthesis of binary-stripped stars

R. Farmer, E. Laplace, Jing-ze Ma +2

The cosmic origin of the elements, the fundamental chemical building blocks of the Universe, is still uncertain. Binary interactions play a key role in the evolution of many massiv…
