Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models
This study modeled how a newly formed neutron star interacts with an inflated companion star after a core-collapse supernova. Using detailed binary evolution models, researchers found that periodic interaction (CCI) is predominantly expected in hydrogen-poor supernovae, occurring in about 15.6% of those events. This suggests CCI might be more common than previously thought and provides predictions for observable light curve modulations.
