The Evolution of Binaries under the Influence of Radiation-Driven Winds from a Stellar Companion

Sophie Lund Schrøder, Morgan MacLeod, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +4

Interacting binaries are of general interest as laboratories for investigating the physics of accretion, which gives rise to the bulk of high-energy radiation in the Galaxy. They a…

Fallback supernova assembly of heavy binary neutron stars and light black hole-neutron star pairs and the common stellar ancestry of GW190425 and GW200115

Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Sophie L. Schrøder, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +4

The detection of the unusually heavy binary neutron star merger GW190425 marked a stark contrast to the mass distribution from known Galactic pulsars in double neutron star binarie…

The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations

D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68

Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…

Explosions Driven by the Coalescence of a Compact Object with the Core of a Massive-Star Companion Inside a Common Envelope: Circumstellar Properties, Light Curves, and Population Statistics

Sophie Lund Schrøder, Morgan MacLeod, Abraham Loeb +2

We model explosions driven by the coalescence of a black hole or neutron star with the core of its massive-star companion. Upon entering a common envelope phase, a compact object m…

Did GW170817 harbor a pulsar?

Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Jeff J. Andrews, Sophie L. Schrøder

If the progenitor of GW170817 harbored a pulsar, then a Poynting flux dominated bow-shock cavity would have been expected to form around the traveling binary. The characteristic si…

Black Hole Formation in Fallback Supernova and the Spins of LIGO Sources

Sophie L. Schrøder, Aldo Batta, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz

Here we investigate within the context of field binary progenitors how the the spin of LIGO sources vary when the helium star-descendent black hole (BH) is formed in a failed super…
