Stellar collisions during binary–binary and binary–single star interactions
Physical collisions between stars occur frequently in dense star clusters, either via close encounters between two single stars, or during strong dynamical interactions involving binary stars. Here we study stellar collisions that occur during binary–single and binary–binary interactions, by performing numerical scattering experiments. Our results include cross sections, branching ratios, and s...
متن کاملHow binary interactions affect stellar population synthesis
The single star-stellar population (ss-SSP) models are usually used for stellar population studies. However, there are more than 50% stars that are in binaries and evolve differently from single stars. This suggests when we model the stellar populations of galaxies and star clusters, the effects of binary interactions should be considered. Although a few works tried to model stellar populations...
متن کاملStellar Collisions and Ultracompact X-ray Binary Formation
We report the results of new smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) calculations of parabolic collisions between a subgiant or slightly evolved red-giant star and a neutron star (NS). Such collisions are likely to provide the dominant formation mechanism for ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) observed today in old globular clusters. In particular, we compute collisions of a 1.4M⊙ NS with realis...
متن کاملBinary systems and stellar mergers in massive star formation
We present a model for the formation of high-mass close binary systems in the context of forming massive stars through gas accretion in the centres of stellar clusters. A low-mass wide binary evolves under mass accretion towards a high-mass close binary, attaining system masses of order 30-50 M⊙at separations of order 1 AU. The resulting high frequency of binary systems with two massive compone...
متن کاملBinary Neutron Star Mergers
We review the current status of studies of the coalescence of binary neutron star systems. We begin with a discussion of the formation channels of merging binaries and we discuss the most recent theoretical predictions for merger rates. Next, we turn to the quasi-equilibrium formalisms that are used to study binaries prior to the merger phase and to generate initial data for fully dynamical sim...
