Spectral population synthesis including massive binaries
We have constructed a new code to produce synthetic spectra of stellar populations that includes massive binaries. We have tested this code against the broadband colours of unresolved young massive stellar clusters in nearby galaxies, the equivalent widths of the Red and Blue Wolf-Rayet bumps in star-forming SDSS galaxies and the UV and optical spectra of the star forming regions Tol-A and B in...
متن کاملPopulation synthesis of planetary nebulae from binaries
There is at present no viable theory whereby a single star with MMS < 2.3 ± 0.3 M can sustain a PN-forming superwind with Ṁ > 3×10−5 M yr−1 at the tip of the AGB that can eject the last ∼0.3 M of envelope mass. We propose that a binary companion can not only result in non-spherical PN, but more importantly provide the AGB mass loss rate enhancement that is required to create a visible PN. We pr...
متن کاملSpectral Synthesis of Massive Stars in Clusters
Stellar clusters are thought to be the simplest stellar systems and the closest observational counterparts to theoretical models for single stellar populations. Progress in our understanding of the atmospheres and evolution of massive stars has led to generally reliable synthesis models. The future release of new evolution models with rotation, however, will require non-trivial updates to previ...
متن کاملFormation of massive binaries
The formation of massive stars is one of the major unsolved problems in stellar astrophysics. However, only few if any of these are found as single stars, on average massive stars have more than one companion. Many of them are born in dense stellar clusters and several clusters have an excess of massive short-period spectroscopic binaries, with severe implication for binary-related stellar evol...
متن کاملInteracting Winds in Massive Binaries
Massive stars feature highly energetic stellar winds that interact whenever two such stars are bound in a binary system. The signatures of these interactions are nowadays found over a wide range of wavelengths, including the radio domain, the optical band, as well as X-rays and even γ-rays. A proper understanding of these effects is thus important to derive the fundamental parameters of the com...
