Evidence for stellar mergers of evolved massive binaries: blue supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Athira Menon, Andrea Ercolino, Miguel A. Urbaneja +8
Blue supergiants are the brightest stars in their host galaxies and yet their evolutionary status has been a long-standing problem in stellar astrophysics. In this pioneering work,…
Betelgeuse as a Merger of a Massive Star with a Companion
Sagiv Shiber, Emmanouil Chatzopoulos, Bradley Munson +1
We investigate the merger between a 16 solar mass star, on its way to becoming a red supergiant (RSG), and a 4 solar mass main-sequence companion. Our study employs three-dimension…
Simulating the Onset of Grazing Envelope Evolution of Binary Stars
Sagiv Shiber, Amit Kashi, Noam Soker
We present the first three-dimensional gas-dynamical simulations of the grazing envelope evolution (GEE) of stars, with the goal of exploring the basic flow properties and the role…
