Binary imposters: Mergers in massive hierarchical triple stars
F. Kummer, G. Simion, S. Toonen +1
Massive stars are often born in triples, where gravitational dynamics and stellar interactions play a crucial role in shaping their evolution. One such pathway includes the merger…

Detailed Simulations of Massive Hierarchical Triple Star Systems - Exploring the impact of the stellar physics on the evolutionary pathways of massive hierarchical triple systems
Luca Sciarini, Sylvia Ekström, Floris Kummer +4
Recent observations estimate that 30% of early B and O-type stars are found in triple systems. So far, the evolution of triple star systems has mainly been modeled using fast stell…
