    • Can Neutron Star Mergers Alone Explain the r-process Enrichment of the Milky Way? 

      Kobayashi, Chiaki; Mandel, Ilya; Belczynski, Krzysztof; Goriely, Stephane; Janka, Thomas H.; Just, Oliver; Ruiter, Ashley J.; Vanbeveren, Dany; Kruckow, Matthias U.; Briel, Max M.; Eldridge, Jan J.; Stanway, Elizabeth (2023-01-30)
      Comparing Galactic chemical evolution models to the observed elemental abundances in the Milky Way, we show that neutron star mergers can be a leading r-process site only if at low metallicities such mergers have very short ...

    • A Catalog of Potential Post–Common Envelope Binaries 

      Kruckow, Matthias U.; Neunteufel, Patrick G.; Stefano, Rosanne Di; Gao, Yan; Kobayashi, Chiaki (2021-10-20)
      We present a catalogue containing 839 candidate post common envelope systems. Common envelope evolution is very important in stellar astrophysics, particularly in the context of very compact and short-period binaries, ...

    • SCATTER: A New Common Envelope Formalism 

      Di Stefano, Rosanne; Kruckow, Matthias U.; Gao, Yan; Neunteufel, Patrick G.; Kobayashi, Chiaki (2023-02-14)
      One of the most mysterious astrophysical states is the common envelope (CE) phase of binary evolution, in which two stars are enshrouded by the envelope shed by one of them. Interactions between the stars and the envelope ...
