Implications of massive close binaries for black hole formation and supernovae
read the original abstract
The progenitor evolution of the massive X-ray binary Wray 977 is investigated using new models of massive close binary evolution. These models yield constraints on the mass limit for neutron star/black hole formation in single stars, M_BH. We argue for quasi-conservative evolution in this system, and we find M_BH > 13...21 M_sun from the existence of a neutron star in Wray 977, with the uncertainty being due to uncertainties in the treatment of convection. Our results revise earlier published much larger values of M_BH derived from the parameters of Wray 977. Then, on the basis of a grid of 37 evolutionary models for massive close binaries with various initial masses, mass ratios and periods, we derive primary initial-final mass, initial mass-final helium core mass, and initial mass-final CO-core mass relations for the various mass transfer cases of close binary evolution. From these models we derive for single stars that M_BH =< 25 M_sun, independent of whether most black hole binaries formed through the Case A/B or the Case C binary channel. Using our grid of binary models, we obtain a consistent scenario for the formation of black holes in binary systems.

Magnetar Engines in Broad-lined Type Ic Supernovae and a Unified Picture for Magnetar-powered Stripped-envelope Supernovae
Broad-lined Type Ic supernovae are powered by magnetar engines, showing a universal ejecta-mass versus initial-spin correlation across stripped-envelope supernova types that supports a common progenitor framework.

SN 2023rve: A Type II Supernova with No Nebular Oxygen
SN 2023rve exhibits absent [O I] nebular lines with inferred 14-18 solar mass progenitor, 0.27e51 erg explosion energy, and 0.0064 solar mass nickel, possibly indicating partial fallback.

Type Ib supernovae are bluer than Type Ic supernovae
Type Ib supernovae are systematically bluer at optical peak than Type Ic supernovae, suggesting their progenitors contain more helium.
