Pre-supernova evolution, compact-object masses, and explosion properties of stripped binary stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 The era of large transient surveys, gravitational-wave observatories, and multi-messenger astronomy has opened up new possibilities for our understanding of the evolution and final fate of massive stars.

Adiabatic Mass Loss in Binary Stars. III. From the Base of the Red Giant Branch to the Tip of the Asymptotic Giant Branch [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The distinguishing feature of the evolution of close binary stars is the role played by the mass exchange between the component stars. Whether or not the mass transfer is dynamically stable is one of the essential questions in binary evolution.

Close Binary Companions to APOGEE DR16 Stars: 20,000 Binary-star Systems Across the Color–Magnitude Diagram [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Many problems in contemporary astrophysics—from understanding the formation of black holes to untangling the chemical evolution of galaxies—rely on knowledge about binary stars.

Fast rotating stars resulting from binary evolution will often appear to be single [PDF]
, 2010 Rapidly rotating stars are readily produced in binary systems. An accreting star in a binary system can be spun up by mass accretion and quickly approach the break-up limit.

Binary Companions of Evolved Stars in APOGEE DR14: Search Method and Catalog of ∼5000 Companions [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2018 Multi-epoch radial velocity measurements of stars can be used to identify stellar, substellar, and planetary-mass companions. Even a small number of observation epochs can be informative about companions, though there can be multiple qualitatively ...

The SPHINX Cosmological Simulations of the First Billion Years: the Impact of Binary Stars on Reionization★ [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 We present the SPHINX suite of cosmological adaptive mesh refinement simulations, the first radiation-hydrodynamical simulations to simultaneously capture large-scale reionization and the escape of ionizing radiation from thousands of resolved galaxies ...

Why binary interaction does not necessarily dominate the formation of Wolf-Rayet stars at low metallicity [PDF]
, 2020 Classical Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are massive, hydrogen depleted, post main-sequence stars that exhibit emission-line dominated spectra. For a given metallicity Z, stars exceeding a certain initial mass M_single(Z) can reach the WR phase through intrinsic ...
