Abstract Compact Object Mergers: Population Astrophysics and Statistics (COMPAS;

Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar system, where the
presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions …

Mass loss in red supergiants (RSGs) is generally recognized to be episodic, but mass-loss
prescriptions fail to reflect this. Evolutionary models show that the total amount of mass lost …

Most massive stars are born in binaries close enough for mass transfer episodes. These
modify the appearance, structure, and future evolution of both stars. We compute the …

We present optical, ultraviolet, and infrared data of the type II supernova (SN II) 2020jfo at
14.5 Mpc. This wealth of multiwavelength data allows us to compare different metrics …

The diffuse cosmic supernova neutrino background (DSNB) is an observational target of the
gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector and the forthcoming JUNO and Hyper …

We present observations of SN 2020fqv, a Virgo-cluster type II core-collapse supernova
(CCSN) with a high temporal resolution light curve from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey …

Thermonuclear and core-collapse supernova remnants (SNRs) are the nebular leftovers of
defunct stars. Their morphology and emission properties provide insights into the …

Most massive stars experience binary interactions in their lifetimes that can alter both the
surface and core structure of the stripped star with significant effects on their ultimate fate as …

Binary interactions, especially mass transfer and mergers, can strongly influence the
evolution of massive stars and change their final properties and the occurrence of …
