The Impact of Angular Momentum Loss on the Outcomes of Binary Mass Transfer
Reinhold Willcox, Morgan MacLeod, Ilya Mandel +1
We use the rapid binary population synthesis code COMPAS to investigate commonly used prescriptions for the determination of mass transfer stability in close binaries and the orbit…
Roman CCS White Paper: Characterizing the Galactic population of isolated black holes
Casey Y. Lam, Natasha Abrams, Jeff Andrews +34
Although there are estimated to be 100 million isolated black holes (BHs) in the Milky Way, only one has been found so far, resulting in significant uncertainty about their propert…
Time-independent Simulations of Steady-State Accretion with Nuclear Burning
Kaho Tse, Alexander Heger, Ryosuke Hirai +1
We construct a new formulation that allows efficient exploration of steady-state accretion processes onto compact objects. Accretion onto compact objects is a common scenario in as…
Constraining mass transfer and common-envelope physics with post-supernova companion monitoring
Ryosuke Hirai
We present an analytical model that describes the response of companion stars after being impacted by a supernova in a close binary system. This model captures key properties of th…
Rapid population synthesis of black-hole high-mass X-ray binaries: implications for binary stellar evolution
Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Ryosuke Hirai, Arash Bahramian +2
We conduct binary population synthesis to investigate the formation of wind-fed high-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes (BH-HMXBs). We evolve multiple populations of high-m…
