Nitrogen rises to the top: evidence of enhanced mixing in very massive stars

Pablo Marchant, Tomer Shenar

Recent observations of young galaxies in the high-redshift Universe reveal signs of early enrichment of nitrogen. Extremely massive stars () with st…

Analytic approximations for massive close post-mass transfer binary systems

Christoph Schürmann, Norbert Langer, Joana A. Kramer +3

Massive binary evolution models are needed to predict massive star populations in star forming galaxies, the supernova diversity, and the number and properties of gravitational wav…

Forming merging double compact objects with stable mass transfer

Annachiara Picco, Pablo Marchant, Hugues Sana +1

Merging double compact objects (CO) represent the inferred sources of every detected gravitational wave (GW) signal, thus modeling their progenitors is important to constrain stell…

A massive helium star with a sufficiently strong magnetic field to form a magnetar

T. Shenar, G. A. Wade, P. Marchant +13

Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars; their formation mechanism is unknown. Hot helium-rich stars with spectra dominated by emission lines are known as Wolf-Rayet stars. W…

The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme II. VFTS 291: A stripped star from a recent mass transfer phase

J. I. Villaseñor, D. J. Lennon, A. Picco +12

Recent studies of massive binaries with putative black hole companions have uncovered a phase of binary evolution that has not been observed before, featuring a bloated stripped st…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description

Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78

Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…
