The origin of the most recently ejected OB runaway star from the R136 cluster
Simon Portegies Zwart, Michel Stoop, Lex Kaper +3
The solar-mass (\MSun) star-cluster R136 (NGC~2070) in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the host of at least 55 massive stars ($M \apgt 10$\,\MS…
Massive Interacting Binaries Enhance Feedback in Star-Forming Regions
Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Eric P. Andersson, Sabrina M. Appel +9
We present a new framework to incorporate feedback from massive interacting binaries in simulations of star cluster formation. Our new feedback model adds binary stellar evolution…
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…
Massive Star Cluster Formation with Binaries. I. Evolution of Binary Populations
Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Alison Sills, William E. Harris +7
We study the evolution of populations of binary stars within massive cluster-forming regions. We simulate the formation of young massive star clusters within giant molecular clouds…
Two waves of massive stars running away from the young cluster R136
Mitchel Stoop, Alex de Koter, Lex Kaper +10
Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters. Their radiation fields, stellar winds, and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the firs…
