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 ...

Evidence for quark-matter cores in massive neutron stars [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2020 The theory governing the strong nuclear force—quantum chromodynamics—predicts that at sufficiently high energy densities, hadronic nuclear matter undergoes a deconfinement transition to a new phase of quarks and gluons1.

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.

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 ...

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).

The Origin of Massive Stars: The Inertial-inflow Model [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We address the problem of the origin of massive stars, namely the origin, path, and timescale of the mass flows that create them. Based on extensive numerical simulations, we propose a scenario where massive stars are assembled by large-scale, converging,
