Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA): Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions
Bill Paxton, Josiah Schwab, Evan B. Bauer +10
We update the capabilities of the software instrument Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) and enhance its ease of use and availability. Our new approach to locat…
Constraints on the Progenitor System of SN 2016gkg from a Comprehensive Statistical Analysis
Niharika Sravan, Pablo Marchant, Vassiliki Kalogera +1
Type IIb supernovae (SNe) present a unique opportunity for understanding the progenitors of stripped-envelope (SE) SNe as the stellar progenitor of several Type IIb SNe have been i…
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…
