Progenitors of Magnetars and Core-collapse Supernovae in Binary Systems
AdvisorProf. Kuo-Chuan Pan
PeriodSep 2024 - Present
Continuing the summer student project, this research focuses on testing the effects of different initial rotational velocity conditions in massive binary systems. The ultimate goal is to identify the specific evolutionary paths that lead to fast-rotating stars and the progenitors of magnetars.
- ▪Simulating massive binary systems using MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics).
- ▪Analyzing angular momentum transfer and mass loss mechanisms during binary evolution.
- ▪Investigating the influence of rotation on core-collapse supernova outcomes.
