TLDR
In this article, the final state of binary systems with initial massesM1i=10M to 15M was derived from the mass of their C/O-cores, and the possibility of a second stage of mass transfer towards the secondary was considered.
Abstract
The final state of the primaries of binary systems with initial massesM1i=10M⊙ to 15M⊙ is derived from the mass of their C/O-cores. The possibility of a second stage of mass transfer towards the secondary is considered. It turns out that the critical mass for the bifurcation is about 14M⊙: stars with larger masses in this range are the progenitors of neutron stars, while the lower mass stars are the ancestors of white dwarfs.

Ultra-stripped supernovae: progenitors and fate

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic investigation of the progenitor evolution leading to ultra-stripped supernovae (SNe) was presented, in which the binary parameter space leading to electron capture (EC SNe) and iron core-collapse SNe (Fe CCSNe), respectively, was examined and the amount of helium ejected with applications to their observational classification as Type Ib or Type Ic.

A New Class of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries: Implications for Core Collapse and Neutron Star Recoil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate a class of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) with long orbital periods (Porb > 30 days) and low eccentricities (e 0.2) and develop a self-consistent phenomenological picture wherein the neutron stars born in the observed wide HMXBs receive only a small kick (50 km s-1).

A calculation of a white dwarf supernova

TL;DR: In this article, a hydrodynamic calculation of a 1.42M⊙ white dwarf supernova is described, where the collapse is initiated by electron capture and the subsequent nuclear detonation of C12 at high densities is sufficient to disperse all the material of the star.

Evolution of Massive Close Binaries. I: The X-Ray Binary Stage

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of binary systems consisting of a 20M⊙ primary and secondaries of respectively 14, 10, 8 and 6M ⊙ was computed from the Main Sequence stage through the X-ray phase, until the second mass transfer phase.
