Some 10% of all massive stars are predicted to merge completely with a companion star. Here we review the different types of mergers and how they may produce unusual objects such as the anomalous progenitor of SN 1987A, gamma-ray burst sources and Thorne-Zytkow objects
We study close encounters involving massive main sequence stars and the evolution of the exotic prod...
We present a model for the formation of high-mass close binary systems in the context of forming mas...
