Direct N-body Modelling of Stellar Populations: Blue Stragglers in M67

Jarrod R. Hurley, Christopher A. Tout, Sverre J. Aarseth +1

We present a state-of-the-art N-body code which includes a detailed treatment of stellar and binary evolution as well as the cluster dynamics. This code is ideal for investigating…

Winds from massive stars: implications for the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts

Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Lynnette M. Dray, Piero Madau +1

Recent observations suggest that long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows are produced by highly relativistic jets emitted in core-collapse explosions. The pre-ex…

Low and intermediate-mass close binary evolution and the initial - final mass relation

Zhanwen Han, Christopher A. Tout, Peter P. Eggleton

Using Eggleton's stellar evolution code, we carry out 150 runs of Pop I binary evolution calculations, with the initial primary mass between 1 and 8 solar masses the initial mass r…

Observational Implications of Precessing Protostellar Discs and Jets

M. R. Bate, I. A. Bonnell, C. J. Clarke +4

We consider the dynamics of a protostellar disc in a binary system where the disc is misaligned with the orbital plane of the binary, with the aim of determining the observational…

Comprehensive analytic formulae for stellar evolution as a function of mass and metallicity

J. R. Hurley, O. R. Pols, C. A. Tout

We present analytic formulae that approximate the evolution of stars for a wide range of mass and metallicity. Stellar luminosity, radius and core mass are given as a function of a…
