The diverse lives of progenitors of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae: the role of binary interaction
Emmanouil Zapartas, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +7
Hydrogen-rich supernovae, known as Type II (SNe II), are the most common class of explosions observed following the collapse of the core of massive stars. We use analytical estimat…
Clues on the Origin and Evolution of Massive Contact Binaries: Atmosphere Analysis of VFTS 352
Michael Abdul-Masih, Hugues Sana, Jon Sundqvist +10
The massive O4.5 V + O5.5 V binary VFTS 352 in the Tarantula nebula is one of the shortest-period and most massive overcontact binaries known. Recent theoretical studies indicate t…
Massive Stellar Mergers as Precursors of Hydrogen-rich Pulsational Pair Instability Supernovae
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Stephen Justham, Ilya Mandel +2
Interactions between massive stars in binaries are thought to be responsible for much of the observed diversity of supernovae. As surveys probe rarer populations of events, we shou…
