Probing the interior physics of stars through asteroseismology
C Aerts - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Yearslong time series of high-precision brightness measurements have been assembled for
thousands of stars with telescopes operating in space. Such data have allowed astronomers …

Hydrodynamics of core-collapse supernovae and their progenitors
B Müller - Living Reviews in Computational Astrophysics, 2020 - Springer
Multi-dimensional fluid flow plays a paramount role in the explosions of massive stars as
core-collapse supernovae. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) simulations of these …

One channel to rule them all? Constraining the origins of binary black holes using multiple formation pathways
The second LIGO–Virgo catalog of gravitational-wave (GW) transients has more than
quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a …

Advancing globular cluster constraints on the axion-photon coupling
We improve the current upper bound on the axion-photon coupling derived from stellar
evolution using the R 2 parameter, the ratio of stellar populations on the Asymptotic Giant …

Turbulent cold flows gave birth to the first quasars
How quasars powered by supermassive black holes formed less than a billion years after
the Big Bang is still one of the outstanding problems in astrophysics, 20 years after their …

A highly magnetized and rapidly rotating white dwarf as small as the Moon
White dwarfs represent the last stage of evolution of stars with mass less than about eight
times that of the Sun and, like other stars, are often found in binaries,. If the orbital period of …

Different to the core: The pre-supernova structures of massive single and binary-stripped stars
E Laplace, S Justham, M Renzo, Y Götberg… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
The majority of massive stars live in binary or multiple systems and will interact with a
companion during their lifetimes, which helps to explain the observed diversity of core …

Stellar mergers as the origin of magnetic massive stars
About ten per cent of 'massive'stars (those of more than 1.5 solar masses) have strong, large-
scale surface magnetic fields,–. It has been suggested that merging of main-sequence and …

The origin and evolution of magnetic white dwarfs in close binary stars
The origin of magnetic fields in white dwarfs remains a fundamental unresolved problem in
stellar astrophysics. In particular, the very different fractions of strongly (more than about a …

The impact of pair-instability mass loss on the binary black hole mass distribution
A population of binary black hole mergers has now been observed in gravitational waves by
Advanced LIGO and Virgo. The masses of these black holes appear to show evidence for a …
