Discovery of over a thousand variable stars in Terzan 5 and Liller 1 with JWST
Kevin B. Burdge, Ilaria Caiazzo, Malina M. Desai +18
The Bulge Fossil Fragments Terzan 5 and Liller 1 host some of the densest stellar environments in the Galaxy, yet their variable star populations have remained largely unexplored d…
Using Machine Learning to Model Stellar Collisions in our Galactic Center
Tristan C. Sand, Sanaea C. Rose, Elena González Prieto +8
Direct collisions in the inner pc of the Galactic center can alter the orbits and properties of stars. The outcome of a collision depends on a number of parameters, including the m…
A Framework for Linking Pre- and Post-Common Envelope Binary Properties with Star Clusters: The First Demonstration with a Massive White Dwarf+M Dwarf Binary in Alessi 12
Steffani M. Grondin, Maria R. Drout, Jason Nordhaus +12
Common envelope (CE) evolution is a critical phase in the lives of binary stars, producing close binaries that are progenitors of type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave sources.…
The diverse outcomes of binary white dwarf mergers and connections to Galactic LISA sources
Kyle Kremer, Katelyn Breivik, Claire S. Ye
In the coming decade, the millihertz gravitational wave observatory LISA will provide the best constraints yet on the tens of thousands of close white dwarf binaries in the Milky W…
Discovery of a double white dwarf in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6397
Fabian Göttgens, Marilyn Latour, Ulrich Heber +4
Binaries in the cores of globular clusters are known to prevent the gravitational collapse of the cluster, and simulations predict that the core of NGC 6397 contains a large number…
Formation of Stripped Stars From Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei
C. Gibson, F. Kıroğlu, J. C. Lombardi +7
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. Observed spectra of several TDEs, such as A…
Can slow pulsars in Milky Way globular clusters form via partial recycling?
Kyle Kremer, Claire S. Ye, Craig O. Heinke +3
Alongside the population of several hundred radio millisecond pulsars currently known in Milky Way globular clusters, a subset of six slowly spinning pulsars (spin periods $0.3-4\,…
A Dynamical Survey of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in 50 Milky Way Globular Clusters
Newlin C. Weatherford, Sourav Chatterjee, Kyle Kremer +1
Recent numerical simulations of globular clusters (GCs) have shown that stellar-mass black holes (BHs) play a fundamental role in driving cluster evolution and shaping their presen…
In Search of the Thermal Eccentricity Distribution
Aaron M. Geller, Nathan W. C. Leigh, Mirek Giersz +2
About a century ago, Jeans (1919) discovered that if binary stars reach a state approximating energy equipartition, for example through many dynamical encounters that exchange ener…
Characterizing accreting double white dwarf binaries with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and Gaia
Katelyn Breivik, Kyle Kremer, Michael Bueno +3
We demonstrate a method to fully characterize mass-transferring double white dwarf (DWD) systems with a helium-rich (He) WD donor based on the mass--radius relationship for He WDs.…
Long-term evolution of double white dwarf binaries accreting through direct impact
Kyle Kremer, Jeremy Sepinsky, Vassiliki Kalogera
We calculate the long-term evolution of angular momentum in double white dwarf binaries undergoing direct impact accretion over a broad range of parameter space. We allow the rotat…
