From the Milky Way to the Early Universe: How Metallicity Shapes the Formation of Double Neutron Stars

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Monica Gallegos-Garcia +10

Among the compact binaries detected through gravitational wave (GW) emission, double neutron stars (DNSs) hold the unique distinction of having well-characterized local analogs in…

Double Neutron Star Delay Times Across Cosmic Metallicities: The Role of Helium Star Progenitors

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Max Briel +5

Metallicity can play a significant role in massive binary evolution through its impact on the opacity within stellar interiors and wind-driven mass loss. In this work, we investiga…

Disk-Regulated Mass Transfer Between Rotating Non-Degenerate Stars: Insights from Be and sdOB Binaries

Zepei Xing, Tassos Fragos, Vicky Kalogera +3

Mass transfer between non-degenerate stars is a fundamental but still poorly understood process in binary evolution. The commonly used rotationally limited accretion prescription i…

Modelling the Future of Gaia Neutron Star-Main Sequence Binaries: From Eccentric Orbits to Millisecond Pulsar-White Dwarfs

Debatri Chattopadhyay, Kyle A. Rocha, Seth Gossage +3

We model the evolution of 21 Gaia neutron star (NS)-main-sequence binaries (orbital period -- days, eccentricity ) using binary evolutio…

Forming Double Neutron Stars using Detailed Binary Evolution Models with POSYDON: Comparison to the Galactic Systems

Abhishek Chattaraj, Jeff J. Andrews, Simone S. Bavera +14

With over two dozen detections in the Milky Way, double neutron stars (DNSs) provide a unique window into massive binary evolution. We use the POSYDON binary population synthesis c…

Mass Transfer in Eccentric Orbits with Self-consistent Stellar Evolution

Kyle Akira Rocha, Rachel Hur, Vicky Kalogera +12

We investigate Roche lobe overflow mass transfer (MT) in eccentric binary systems between stars and compact objects (COs), modeling the coupled evolution of both the star and the o…
