商品描述
In this PhD thesis, Matthias Fabry takes a deep dive into the detailed structure and evolution of the most massive and tightest binary stars. Massive stars are predominantly born in binary systems, and recent modeling shows that about 40% of them will form a so-called contact binary during their life. In this configuration, both stars share their outer layers, forming peanut-shaped objects. Previously, evolutionary models of such systems used simplified physics and approximations, and were failing to reproduce observed properties of massive contact binaries. In his PhD work, Matthias incorporated tidal deformation and energy transfer into a modern stellar-structure and evolution framework. This culminated in the creation of extensive grids of models spanning all massive stars that would form long-lived contact binaries. In his thesis, Matthias further offers a broad introduction into the history of (computational) stellar evolution, binary stars, and the connection of massive binaries with gravitational-wave astrophysics. Not only do the methods developed here constitute a significant step forward in the detailed modeling of massive contact binaries, they are applicable to many other kinds of binary stars. Nominated for the Springer Theses Prize by KU Leuven.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在這篇博士論文中，Matthias Fabry 深入探討了最具質量和最緊密的雙星的詳細結構與演化。大質量恆星主要是在雙星系統中誕生，最近的模型顯示，約有 40% 的大質量恆星在其生命過程中會形成所謂的接觸雙星。在這種配置中，兩顆恆星共享其外層，形成花生形狀的物體。之前，這類系統的演化模型使用了簡化的物理學和近似方法，未能重現觀察到的大質量接觸雙星的特性。在他的博士研究中，Matthias 將潮汐變形和能量轉移納入現代恆星結構與演化框架中。這最終導致創建了涵蓋所有會形成長壽命接觸雙星的大質量恆星的廣泛模型網格。在他的論文中，Matthias 進一步提供了對（計算）恆星演化、雙星以及大質量雙星與重力波天體物理學之間聯繫的廣泛介紹。這裡開發的方法不僅在大質量接觸雙星的詳細建模上邁出了重要的一步，還適用於許多其他類型的雙星。

作者簡介
Matthias Fabry is a stellar astrophysicist currently living in suburban Philadelphia. He grew up in Tervuren, Belgium, and went to university in nearby Leuven, attending the KU Leuven for his degrees in physics and astrophysics. He obtained his PhD at the Institute of Astronomy in Leuven in May 2024, after extensively studying the structure and evolution of contact binaries, in particular those containing massive stars. During his PhD research, he published three peer-reviewed papers on the topic, and helped reinvigorate interest in this niche, which has been underdeveloped in the past decades. Currently, he is a post-doctoral scholar at the Department of Astrophysics and Planetary Science at Villanova University near Philadelphia in the USA. He is continuing to work on the problem of contact binaries (of any mass), by combining light-curve analysis with evolutionary models to determine their properties, their interaction physics, and ultimate fate. In his pastime, he likes playing golf, watching sports (especially the American ones), learn about aero- and astronautics, and play board games.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
馬提亞斯·法布里（Matthias Fabry）是一位傑出的天體物理學家，目前居住在費城郊區。他在比利時的特爾維倫（Tervuren）長大，並在附近的魯汀（Leuven）上大學，於KU Leuven獲得物理學和天體物理學的學位。他於2024年5月在魯汀的天文學研究所獲得博士學位，研究主題為接觸雙星的結構和演化，特別是那些包含大質量恆星的接觸雙星。在博士研究期間，他發表了三篇經過同行評審的論文，並幫助重新激發了對這一小眾領域的興趣，該領域在過去幾十年中發展不充分。目前，他是美國費城附近維拉諾瓦大學（Villanova University）天體物理與行星科學系的博士後研究員。他繼續研究接觸雙星（任何質量）的問題，通過結合光變曲線分析與演化模型來確定它們的特性、相互作用物理及最終命運。在業餘時間，他喜歡打高爾夫球、觀看體育賽事（特別是美國的體育賽事）、學習航空和航天知識，以及玩桌上遊戲。
