Massive donors in interacting binaries: effect of metallicity
@article{Klencki2020MassiveDI, title={Massive donors in interacting binaries: effect of metallicity}, author={Jakub Klencki and Gijs Nelemans and Alina G. Istrate and Onno Rudolf Pols}, journal={Astronomy \& Astrophysics}, year={2020} }
Metallicity is known to significantly affect the radial expansion of a massive star: the lower the metallicity, the more compact the star, especially during its post-main sequence evolution. Our goal is to study this effect in the context of binary evolution. Using the stellar-evolution code MESA, we computed evolutionary tracks of massive stars at six different metallicities between 1.0 Z⊙ and 0.01 Z⊙. We explored variations of factors known to affect the radial expansion of massive stars (e.g…

We model the Galactic population of detached binaries that harbor black holes with (0.5-1.7) solar mass companions -- the remnants of case B mass-exchange that rapidly cross Hertzsprung gap after the…
The consequences of gamma-ray burst jet opening angle evolution on the inferred star formation rate

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) data suggest that the jets from GRBs in the high redshift universe are more narrowly collimated than those at lower redshifts. This implies that we detect relatively fewer long…

A transient radio source consistent with a merger-triggered core collapse supernova

A core-collapse supernova occurs when exothermic fusion ceases in the core of a massive star, typically due to exhaustion of nuclear fuel. Theory predicts that fusion could be interrupted earlier, by…
A transient radio source consistent with a merger-triggered core collapse supernova

A transient astronomical radio source indicates a supernova triggered by a merger between a star and a compact object, and is associated with an archival x-ray transient, which implies that a relativistic jet was launched during the explosion.
