LIN 358: A symbiotic binary accreting above the steady hydrogen fusion limit
J. Kuuttila, M. Gilfanov, T. E. Woods +2
Symbiotic binaries are long period interacting binaries consisting of a white dwarf (WD) accreting material from a cool evolved giant star via stellar winds. In this paper we study…
Discovery of a ~30-Year-Duration Post-Nova Pulsating Supersoft Source in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. Vasilopoulos, F. Koliopanos, T. E. Woods +3
Supersoft X-ray sources (SSS) have been identified as white dwarfs accreting from binary companions and undergoing nuclear-burning of the accreted material on their surface. Althou…
The Formation of Very Massive Stars in Early Galaxies and Implications for Intermediate Mass Black Holes
John A. Regan, John H. Wise, Tyrone E. Woods +3
We investigate the ab-initio formation of super-massive stars in a pristine atomic cooling halo. The halo is extracted from a larger self-consistent parent simulation. The halo rem…
Supersoft X-Ray Nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Diego Farias, Alejandro Clocchiatti, Tyrone Woods +1
Supersoft X-rays sources (SSSs) have been proposed as potential Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. If such objects are indeed persistently X-ray luminous and embedded in suffic…
On Monolithic Supermassive Stars
Tyrone E. Woods, Alexander Heger, Lionel Haemmerlé
Supermassive stars have been proposed as the progenitors of the massive () quasars observed at . Prospects for directly detecting supermassive…
Milky Way Satellites Shining Bright in Gravitational Waves
Elinore Roebber, Riccardo Buscicchio, Alberto Vecchio +8
The population of Milky Way satellite galaxies is of great interest for cosmology, fundamental physics, and astrophysics. They represent the faint end of the galaxy luminosity func…
Luminous Red Novae: population models and future prospects
George Howitt, Simon Stevenson, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +5
A class of optical transients known as Luminous Red Novae (LRNe) have recently been associated with mass ejections from binary stars undergoing common-envelope evolution. We use th…
