Can Neutron Star Mergers Alone Explain the R-process Enrichment of the Milky Way?
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens
Mennekens and Vanbeveren (2014) studied the effect of double compact star mergers on the Galactic chemical enrichment of r-process elements. LIGO merger detections since 2015 and n…
Can neutron star mergers alone explain the r-process enrichment of the Milky Way?
Chiaki Kobayashi, Ilya Mandel, Krzysztof Belczynski +9
Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low…
Properties of Galactic B[e] Supergiants: V. 3 Pup -- constraining the orbital parameters and modeling the circumstellar environments
A. S. Miroshnichenko, S. Danford, S. V. Zharikov +9
We report the results of a long-term spectroscopic monitoring of the A-type supergiant with the B[e] phenomenon 3 Pup = HD 62623. We confirm earlier findings that it is a binary sy…
The spin rates of O stars in WR + O Magellanic Cloud binaries
Michael M. Shara, Steven M. Crawford, Dany Vanbeveren +3
Some massive, merging black holes (BH) may be descendants of binary O stars. The evolution and mass transfer between these O stars determines the spins of their progeny BH. These w…
Evidence from high mass X-ray binaries that Galactic WR components of WR+O binaries end their life with a supernova explosion
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +1
Theoretical population number studies of binaries with at least one black hole (BH) component are obviously depending on whether or not BHs receive a (natal) kick during their form…
The Wolf-Rayet binaries of the nitrogen sequence in the Large Magellanic Cloud: spectroscopy, orbital analysis, formation, and evolution
T. Shenar, D. P. Sablowski, R. Hainich +11
Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core-collapse. I…
