An Effect Study of Structural Jets on the Long Gamma-Ray Burst Formation Rate at Low Redshift by Qi Guo, Qi Tan, Benyun Shi

“…Numerous studies have analyzed the formation rate of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs), which originate from the core collapse of massive stars, in comparison with the star formation rate (SFR). …”

Physics-driven Explosions of Stripped High-mass Stars: Synthetic Light Curves and Spectra of Stripped-envelope Supernovae with Broad Light Curves by Jing Lu, Brandon L. Barker, Jared Goldberg, Wolfgang E. Kerzendorf, Maryam Modjaz, Sean M. Couch, Joshua V. Shields, Andrew G. Fullard

“…Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) represent a significant fraction of core-collapse supernovae, arising from massive stars that have shed their hydrogen and, in some cases, helium envelopes. …”

Insights into the Properties of Type Ibn/Icn Supernovae and Their Progenitor Channels through X-Ray Emission by Yusuke Inoue, Keiichi Maeda

“…Type Ibn/Icn supernovae (SNe Ibn/Icn), which are characterized by narrow helium or carbon lines that originated in hydrogen-poor dense circumstellar medium (CSM), provide new insights into the final evolution of massive stars. While SNe Ibn/Icn are expected to emit strong X-rays through the strong supernova (SN)-CSM interaction, the X-ray emission modeling effort has been limited so far. …”

cogsworth: A Gala of COSMIC Proportions Combining Binary Stellar Evolution and Galactic Dynamics by Tom Wagg, Katelyn Breivik, Mathieu Renzo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

“…We use cogsworth to demonstrate that both binarity and the galactic potential have a significant impact of the present-day positions of massive stars. We designed cogsworth and its online documentation to provide a powerful tool for constraining binary evolution, but also a flexible and accessible resource for the entire community. https://github.com/TomWagg/cogsworth https://cogsworth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/…”

Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) science: Our Galaxy [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] by Pamela Klaassen, Maria Beltrán, Alessio Traficante, Mark Booth, Kate Pattle, Jonathan Marshall, Joshua Lovell, Brandt Gaches, Alvaro Hacar, Nicolas Peretto, Caroline Bot, Doris Arzoumanian, Thomas Stanke, Gaspard Duchêne, Ana Duarte Cabral, Antonio Hales, David Eden, Patricia Luppe, Jens Kauffmann, Elena Redaelli, Sebastian Marino, Álvaro Sánchez-Monge, Andrew Rigby, Dmitry Semenov, Eugenio Schisano, Mark Thompson, Silvia Spezzano, Claudia Cicone, Friedrich Wyrowski, Martin Cordiner, Tony Mroczkowski, Doug Johnstone, Luca Di Mascolo, Minju Lee, Eelco van Kampen, Thomas Maccarone, Daizhong Liu, Matthew Smith, Amélie Saintonge, Sven Wedemeyer, Alexander Thelen

“…As we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas and dust in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), how it moves, how it is affected by the nearby massive stars, and which portions of those GMCs eventually collapse into star forming regions. …”

Simulating High-redshift Galaxies: Enhancing UV Luminosity with Star Formation Efficiency and a Top-heavy IMF by Tae Bong Jeong, Myoungwon Jeon, Hyunmi Song, Volker Bromm

“…Also, adopting a top-heavy IMF could enhance observability due to an overabundance of massive stars, although it may also facilitate rapid metal enrichment. …”
