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 ...

EVOLUTION OF THE STARS AND GAS IN GALAXIES. [PDF]
, 2022 Essentially everything of astronomical interest is either part of a galaxy, or from a galaxy, or otherwise relevant to the origin or evolution of galaxies. Diverse examples are that the isotropic composition of meteorites provides clues to the history of

The active lives of stars: A complete description of the rotation and XUV evolution of F, G, K, and M dwarfs [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Aims. We study the evolution of the rotation and the high energy X-ray, extreme ultraviolet (EUV), and Ly-α emission for F, G, K, and M dwarfs, with masses between 0.1 and 1.2 M⊙, and provide a freely available set of evolutionary tracks for use in ...

The Evolution of Massive Helium Stars, Including Mass Loss [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 The evolution of helium stars with initial masses in the range 1.6–120 is studied, including the effects of mass loss by winds. These stars are assumed to form in binary systems when their expanding hydrogenic envelopes are promptly lost just after ...

Presupernova Evolution and Explosive Nucleosynthesis of Rotating Massive Stars in the Metallicity Range −3 ≤ [Fe/H] ≤ 0 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2018 We present a new grid of presupernova models of massive stars extending in mass between 13 and 120 , covering four metallicities (i.e., [Fe/H] = 0, −1, −2, and −3) and three initial rotation velocities (i.e., 0, 150, and 300 km s−1).

Code dependencies of pre-supernova evolution and nucleosynthesis in massive stars: Evolution to the end of core helium burning [PDF]
, 2014 Massive stars are key sources of radiative, kinetic, and chemical feedback in the universe. Grids of massive star models computed by different groups each using their own codes, input physics choices and numerical approximations, however, lead to ...

Magnetic, thermal and rotational evolution of isolated neutron stars [PDF]
Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics, 2019 The strong magnetic field of neutron stars is intimately coupled to the observed temperature and spectral properties, as well as to the observed timing properties (distribution of spin periods and period derivatives).

The first gravitational-wave source from the isolated evolution of two stars in the 40–100 solar mass range [PDF]
Nature, 2016 The merger of two massive (about 30 solar masses) black holes has been detected in gravitational waves. This discovery validates recent predictions that massive binary black holes would constitute the first detection. Previous calculations, however, have

Binary Interaction Dominates the Evolution of Massive Stars [PDF]
Science, 2012 Star Partners Stars more massive than eight times the mass of the Sun are rare and short-lived, yet they are fundamentally important because they produce all the heavy elements in the universe, such as iron, silicon, and calcium. Sana et al. (p.

HAZMAT. III. The UV Evolution of Mid- to Late-M Stars with GALEX [PDF]
, 2018 Low-mass stars are currently the most promising targets for detecting and characterizing habitable planets in the solar neighborhood. However, the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted by such stars can erode and modify planetary atmospheres over time ...
