The Evolution of Massive Binary Stars [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023 Massive stars play a major role in the evolution of their host galaxies and serve as important probes of the distant Universe. It has been established that the majority of massive stars reside in close binaries and interact with their companion stars ...

Massive runaway and walkaway stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 We perform an extensive numerical study of the evolution of massive binary systems to predict the peculiar velocities that stars obtain when their companion collapses and disrupts the system.

Supernovae from massive stars [PDF]
, 2017 Massive stars, by which we mean those stars exploding as core collapse supernovae, play a pivotal role in the evolution of the Universe. Therefore, the understanding of their evolution and explosion is fundamental in many branches of physics and ...

Strongly interacting matter exhibits deconfined behavior in massive neutron stars [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Neutron-star cores contain matter at the highest densities in our Universe. This highly compressed matter may undergo a phase transition where nuclear matter melts into deconfined quark matter, liberating its constituent quarks and gluons.

Different to the core: the pre-supernova structures of massive single and binary-stripped stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 The majority of massive stars live in binary or multiple systems and will interact during their lifetimes, which helps to explain the observed diversity of core-collapse supernovae.

New Insights into the Evolution of Massive Stars and Their Effects on Our Understanding of Early Galaxies [PDF]
, 2022 The observable characteristics and subsequent evolution of young stellar populations is dominated by their massive stars. As our understanding of those massive stars and the factors affecting their evolution improves, so our interpretation of distant ...

The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS – II. Physical properties of the most massive stars in R136 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We present an optical analysis of 55 members of R136, the central cluster in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our sample was observed with STIS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, is complete down to about 40 M⊙, and includes seven ...

The stability of massive stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 An investigation of the stability properties of stellar models describing massive stars is motivated observationally by the necessity to explain the observed Humphreys - Davidson (HD) limit and the variability of the most massive stars known, i.e. the existence of luminous blue variables (LBVs).

The evolution of massive binary systems [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2020 The evolution of massive stars in close binary systems is significantly different from single star evolution due to a series of interactions between the two stellar components.
