Titans of the early Universe: The Prato statement on the origin of the first supermassive black holes (2018, methodology): “Attempts at naming schemes for ‘big’ stars based strictly on total mass have been made in the past (e.g., Heger & Woosley 2002; Heger et al. 2003; Heger & Woosley 2010; Heger 2012); here, however, we use an approach based on the relevant physics.”
Forming short-period Wolf–Rayet X-ray binaries and double black holes through stable mass transfer (2017, background): “Assuming some 90 per cent of the final WC star (basically a CO core) to become the black hole ((e.g. Heger 2012)), the final mass of the WR progenitor of Cyg X-1 must have been 16.4 M .”
Massive double compact object mergers: gravitational wave sources and r-process element production sites (2013, methodology): “The Brussels population/galactic code uses the results computed with the Brussels stellar evolutionary code that has been described in Vanbeveren et al. (1998a, b). This code adopts the opacities from Iglesias et al. (1992) and the nuclear reaction rates from Fowler et al.”
