HST Deep Upper Limits Rule Out a Surviving Massive Binary Companion to the Type Ic Supernova 2012fh
Benjamin F. Williams, Emmanouil Zapartas, Ori D. Fox +19
Current explanations of the mass-loss mechanism for stripped-envelope supernovae remain divided between single and binary progenitor systems. Here we obtain deep ultraviolet (UV) i…

The Demographics of Binary Companions to Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: Confronting Observations with Population Synthesis
E. Zapartas, O. D. Fox, J. Su +15
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) mark the deaths of massive stars without hydrogen-rich envelopes. Most SESNe likely originate from binary systems where a companion stripped th…
