The Galactic Underworld: The spatial distribution of compact remnants
David Sweeney, Peter Tuthill, Sanjib Sharma +1
We chart the expected Galactic distribution of neutron stars and black holes. These compact remnants of dead stars -- the Galactic underworld -- are found to exhibit a fundamentall…
Neutron stars colliding with binary companions: formation of hypervelocity stars, pulsar planets, bumpy superluminous supernovae and Thorne-Żytkow objects
Ryosuke Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski
We perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations of new-born neutron stars (NSs) colliding with main-sequence binary companions after supernova explosions. Based on those hydrodynamical mo…
Common envelopes in massive stars II: The distinct roles of hydrogen and helium recombination
Mike Y. M. Lau, Ryosuke Hirai, Daniel J. Price +1
The role of recombination during a common-envelope event has been long debated. Many studies have argued that much of hydrogen recombination energy, which is radiated in relatively…
Common envelope binary interaction simulations between a thermally-pulsating AGB star and a low mass companion
Miguel Gonzalez-Bolivar, Orsola De Marco, Mike Y. M. Lau +2
At least one in five of all planetary nebulae are the product of a common envelope (CE) interaction, where the companion in-spirals into the envelope of an asymptotic giant branch…
