Description

We will start by recalling the effects of rotation on stellar evolution and briefly explain its implementation in a stellar evolution code. We will present a set of various grids of massive stars models, and then show some recent results obtained by our new SYCLIST toolbox, which is able (among other things) to generate synthetic stellar clusters, including various physical ingredients, such as initial rotation and angle of view distributions, gravity and limb darkening, etc.

    Decoding the state transition in X-ray binaries: a spectral-timing perspective
    X-ray binaries (XRBs) are binary systems where a compact object, either a black hole or a neutron star, accretes matter from a stellar companion via an accretion disc. As this material spirals in, it heats up and emits X-rays, typically exhibiting transient outburst behaviour.During these outbursts, XRBs often transition between hard states

  • Colloquium
    The delicate interplay between accretion, ejection and magnetism in neutron stars X-ray binaries
    Matter ejection, in the form of either winds or jets, is ubiquitous in accreting X-ray binaries. Although it is clear that accretion and ejection are profoundly intertwined in these types of systems, the origin and the details of such an interconnection are yet to be unraveled. This is particularly true for systems where a low-magnetized neutron

  • The complex Milky Way history
    In this seminar I will focus on how the avalanche of new data changes our views on how our Galaxy formed and evolved. Precise astrometric, spectroscopic, photometric and asteroseismic data can be combined to pin down different processes that have shaped the Milky Way. This data will be discussed and illustrated with examples of what is possible to
