Modelling stellar evolution in mass-transferring binaries and gravitational-wave progenitors with METISSE
Poojan Agrawal, Jarrod Hurley, Simon Stevenson +3
Massive binaries are vital sources of various transient processes, including gravitational-wave mergers. However, large uncertainties in the evolution of massive stars, both physic…
Weighing the Darkness II: Astrometric Measurement of Partial Orbits with Gaia
Jeff J. Andrews, Katelyn Breivik, Chirag Chawla +2
Over the course of several years, stars trace helical trajectories as they traverse across the sky due to the combined effects of proper motion and parallax. It is well known that…
On the Mass Ratio Distribution of Black Hole Mergers in Triple Systems
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Carl L. Rodriguez, Giacomo Fragione
Observations have shown that the majority of massive stars, progenitors of black holes (BHs), have on average more than one stellar companion. In triple systems, wide inner binarie…
The Fate of Binaries in the Galactic Center: The Mundane and the Exotic
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, Andrea M. Ghez +6
The Galactic Center (GC) is dominated by the gravity of a super-massive black hole (SMBH), Sagittarius A, and is suspected to contain a sizable population of binary stars. Such…
Predicting Stellar-Mass Black Hole Populations in Globular Clusters
Newlin C. Weatherford, Sourav Chatterjee, Carl L. Rodriguez +1
Recent discoveries of black hole (BH) candidates in Galactic and extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) have ignited interest in understanding how BHs dynamically evolve in a GC and…
