Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models

Andrea Ercolino, Norbert Langer, Avishay Gal-Yam +6

Most massive stars live in binary systems. When the first supernova (SN) in a binary occurs, the ejecta hit the companion, which may inflate as a consequence, and then interact wit…
