Observational properties of massive black hole binary progenitors
R. Hainich, L. M. Oskinova, T. Shenar +6
The first directly detected gravitational waves (GW 150914) were emitted by two coalescing black holes (BHs) with masses of ~36Msun and ~29Msun. Several scenarios have been propose…
Ultra-luminous X-ray sources and neutron-star-black-hole mergers from very massive close binaries at low metallicity
Pablo Marchant, Norbert Langer, Philipp Podsiadlowski +4
Gravitational waves from the binary black hole (BH) merger GW150914 may enlighten our understanding of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), as BHs>30Msun can reach luminosities>4x1…
AM Canum Venaticorum Progenitors with Helium Star Donors and the resultant Explosions
Jared Brooks, Lars Bildsten, Pablo Marchant +1
We explore the outcome of mass transfer via Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) of pure helium burning stars in close binaries with white dwarfs (WDs). The…
Testing eccentricity pumping mechanisms to model eccentric long period sdB binaries with MESA
Joris Vos, Roy Østensen, Pablo Marchant +1
Hot subdwarf-B stars in long-period binaries are found to be on eccentric orbits, even though current binary-evolution theory predicts those objects to be circularised before the o…
