A Search for Exoplanets in Short-Period Binary Star Systems [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012
This paper reports the progress of a search for exoplanets with S-type orbits in short-period binary star systems. The selected targets have stellar orbital periods of just a few days. These systems are eclipsing binaries so that exoplanet transits, if

Neutron Star Mergers and the Quark Matter Equation of State [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
As neutron stars merge they can approach very high nuclear density. Here, we summarized recent results for the evolution and gravitational wave emission from binary-neutron star mergers using a a variety of nuclear equations of state with and without a ...

A radio-pulsing white dwarf binary star [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2016
White dwarfs are compact stars, similar in size to Earth but approximately 200,000 times more massive. Isolated white dwarfs emit most of their power from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths, but when in close orbits with less dense stars, white ...

Period Change of the Contact Binary AH Tauri [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2004
New BVRI photometric observations of the contact binary AH Tau were performed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory during seven nights from September to December, 2001. A total of 144 times of minima

Binary Gravitational Perturbations and Their Influence on the Habitability of Circumstellar Planets

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In order to assess the habitability of planets in binary star systems, not only astrophysical considerations regarding stellar and atmospheric conditions are needed, but orbital dynamics and the architecture of the system also play an important role. Due

The cosmic merger rate density of compact objects: impact of star formation, metallicity, initial mass function, and binary evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We evaluate the redshift distribution of binary black hole (BBH), black hole - neutron star binary (BHNS) and binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, exploring the main sources of uncertainty: star formation rate (SFR) density, metallicity evolution, common ...

The Birth of a Massive First-star Binary [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
We study the formation of massive Population III binary stars using a newly developed radiation hydrodynamics code with the adaptive mesh refinement and adaptive ray-tracing methods.

Intermediate-mass Black Holes from High Massive-star Binary Fractions in Young Star Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
Black holes formed in dense star clusters, where dynamical interactions are frequent, may have fundamentally different properties than those formed through isolated stellar evolution.

Binary black holes in young star clusters: the impact of metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Young star clusters are the most common birth-place of massive stars and are dynamically active environments. Here, we study the formation of black holes (BHs) and binary black holes (BBHs) in young star clusters, by means of 6000 N-body simulations ...

Gravitational Waves and Gamma-rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was observed independently by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor, and the Anticoincidence Shield for ...
