GW190425: Observation of a Compact Binary Coalescence with Total Mass ∼ 3.4 M O

B. P. Abbott, +1274 more
TL;DR: In 2019, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9 and the Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due to a low SINR but were used for subsequent parameter estimation as discussed by the authors.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the First Half of the Third Observing Run

Richard J. Abbott, +1351 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present 39 candidate gravitational wave events from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo in the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between 1 April 2019 15:00 UTC and 1 October 2019 15.00.

Origin of the heaviest elements: The rapid neutron-capture process

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an answer to the question "How Were the Elements from Iron to Uranium Made?" (Abridged) by combining new results and important breakthroughs in the related nuclear, atomic and astronomical fields of science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is there a supernova bound on axions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a critical assessment of the SN1987A supernova cooling bound on axions and other light particles, showing that neutrinos do not cool the disk and do not affect its neutrino output.
Journal ArticleDOI

Core-collapse supernova explosion theory.

TL;DR: The delayed neutrino-heating mechanism is emerging as the key driver of supernova explosions, but there remain many issues to address, such as the chaos of the involved dynamics.

PUSHing Core-Collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry II: Explodability and Global Properties

TL;DR: In this paper, a parametrized spherically symmetric explosion method (PUSH) was proposed to reproduce many features of core-collapse supernovae, including the transition from neutron stars to black holes as the final result of the collapse of massive stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Missing Red Supergiants and Carbon Burning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the keplerkepler code to demonstrate the sensitivity of the central carbon burning transition to the rate of the O reaction and the overshoot mixing efficiency, and argue that the upper mass limit of exploding RSG could be employed to constrain uncertain input physics of massive stellar evolution calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quest for blue supergiants: binary merger models for the evolution of the progenitor of SN 1987A

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed, systematic stellar evolution study of binary mergers for blue supergiant (BSG) progenitors of Type II supernovae is presented, which can simultaneously reproduce nearly all observational aspects of the progenitor of SN 1987A, including its position in the HR diagram, the enrichment of helium and nitrogen in the triple-ring nebula, and its lifetime before its explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

The very young resolved stellar populations around stripped-envelope supernovae

TL;DR: In this article, the ages and spatial distributions of massive stars around the sites of 23 stripped-envelope supernovae were analyzed to probe the possible origins of the progenitors of these events.
