The Effect of Massive Binaries on Stellar Populations and Supernova Progenitors
- J. Eldridge, R. Izzard, C. Tout
- PhysicsProceedings of the International Astronomical…
- 20 November 2007
Abstract We have calculated a large set of detailed binary models and used them to test the observed stellar population ratios that compare the relative populations of blue supergiants, red…
Theoretical uncertainties of the Type Ia supernova rate
- J. Claeys, O. Pols, R. Izzard, J. Vink, F. Verbunt
- Physics
- 13 January 2014
It is thought that Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are explosions of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs). Two main evolutionary channels are proposed for the WD to reach the critical density required for…

Massive binaries as the source of abundance anomalies in globular clusters
- S. D. Mink, O. Pols, N. Langer, R. Izzard
- Physics
- 6 October 2009
Abundance anomalies observed in globular cluster stars indicate pollution with material processed by hydrogen burning. Two main sources have been suggested: asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and…
THE ROTATION RATES OF MASSIVE STARS: THE ROLE OF BINARY INTERACTION THROUGH TIDES, MASS TRANSFER, AND MERGERS
- S. D. de Mink, N. Langer, R. Izzard, H. Sana, A. de Koter
- Physics
- 15 November 2012
Rotation is thought to be a major factor in the evolution of massive stars—especially at low metallicity—with consequences for their chemical yields, ionizing flux, and final fate. Deriving the birth…
Unresolved stellar companions with Gaia DR2 astrometry
- V. Belokurov, Z. Penoyre, Anthony G. A. Brown
- Physics, GeologyMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
- 11 March 2020
For stars with unresolved companions, motions of the centre of light and that of mass decouple, causing a single-source astrometric model to perform poorly. We show that such stars can be easily…
A new synthetic model for asymptotic giant branch stars
- R. Izzard, C. Tout, A. Karakas, O. Pols
- Physics
- 11 May 2004
We present a synthetic model for thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TPAGB) evolution constructed by fitting expressions to full evolutionary models in the metallicity range 0.0001 Z 0.02. Our…
On the nature and detectability of Type Ib/c supernova progenitors
- S.-C. Yoon, G. Graefener, J. Vink, A. Kozyreva, R. Izzard
- Physics
- 16 July 2012
Context. The progenitors of many Type II supernovae have been observationally identified but the search for Type Ibc supernova (SN Ibc) progenitors has thus far been unsuccessful, despite the…
Progenitors of gravitational wave mergers: binary evolution with the stellar grid-based code ComBinE
- M. Kruckow, T. Tauris, N. Langer, M. Kramer, R. Izzard
- PhysicsMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
- 16 January 2018
The first gravitational wave detections of mergers between black holes and neutron stars represent a remarkable new regime of high-energy transient astrophysics. The signals observed with LIGO-Virgo…
