Maximally accreting supermassive stars: a fundamental limit imposed by hydrostatic equilibrium
L. Haemmerlé, G. Meynet, L. Mayer +3
Major mergers of gas-rich galaxies provide promising conditions for the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs; M) by direct collapse because they can t…
LRP2020: The cosmic origin and evolution of the elements
Rodrigo Fernández, Falk Herwig, Samar Safi-Harb +16
The origin of many elements of the periodic table remains an unsolved problem. While many nucleosynthetic channels are broadly understood, significant uncertainties remain regardin…
Revealing the Origin and Cosmic Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes
T. E. Woods, R. M. Alexandroff, S. L. Ellison +14
The next generation of electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories will open unprecedented windows to the birth of the first supermassive black holes. This has the potenti…
Comprehensive models of novae at metallicity and
Hai-Liang Chen, T. E. Woods, L. R. Yungelson +3
Novae are the observational manifestations of thermonuclear runaways on the surface of accreting white dwarfs (WDs). Although novae are an ubiquitous phenomenon, their properties a…
On the Detection of Supermassive Primordial Stars. II. Blue Supergiants
Marco Surace, Erik Zackrisson, Daniel J. Whalen +4
Supermassive primordial stars in hot, atomically-cooling haloes at 15 - 20 may have given birth to the first quasars in the universe. Most simulations of these rapidly acc…
Tidal interactions between binary stars drives lithium production in low-mass red giants
Andrew R. Casey, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Melissa Ness +9
Theoretical models of stellar evolution predict that most of the lithium inside a star is destroyed as the star becomes a red giant. However, observations reveal that about 1% of r…
