Self-consistent spherical accretion simulations show cooling-enhanced growth of PBHs with radiative efficiency ~10^{-2} in the bremsstrahlung regime, yielding a critical seed mass of ~10^{-16} M_sun to consume a solar-mass star in a Hubble time.
Self-gravitating disks heated by stars reach a universal optical effective temperature of 4000-4500 K independent of accretion rate, black hole mass, and viscosity, explaining Little Red Dots.
Presents a grid of 113 fast-rotating, chemically-homogeneous massive star models at Z=0.001 reaching core collapse with high angular momentum for use as supernova and GRB progenitors.
New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.
1D models show convective boundary mixing dominates the asteroseismic imprint of accretion in massive stars, robust to semiconvection changes but drastically altered without it, with thermal relaxation as key.
Failed common envelope mergers yield 6-14 solar mass stripped stars consistent with long-lived core He-burning objects that appear single or in wide binaries from hierarchical triples.
The first NIR high-resolution spectroscopy of solar analog HD115617 shows a 250 K temperature discrepancy with optical data but confirms solar composition, main-sequence status, and no chemical signature of planetary formation.
Eruptive mass loss in red supergiants increases linearly with metallicity, calibrated via by-eye fits to Local Group luminosity functions, preventing initial masses above about 20 solar masses from reaching the red supergiant phase.
Binary evolution simulations identify short (20-500 days) and long (2000-4000 days) orbital period ranges where massive star-black hole systems retain enough angular momentum for GRB jet production with negligible mass loss.

Twin Peaks: Resolving Features in the Binary Black Hole Mass Function with COSMIC-METISSE
New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.

Calibrating Eruptive Mass Loss in Red Supergiants with Local Group Data
Eruptive mass loss in red supergiants increases linearly with metallicity, calibrated via by-eye fits to Local Group luminosity functions, preventing initial masses above about 20 solar masses from reaching the red supergiant phase.
