Identifying planets around O-type and B-type stars is inherently difficult; the most massive known planet host has a mass of only about $3M_{odot}$. However, planetary systems which survive the transformation of their host stars into white dwarfs can be detected via photospheric trace metals, circumstellar dusty and gaseous discs, and transits of planetary debris crossing our line-of-sight. These signatures offer the potential to explore the efficiency of planet formation for host stars with masses up to the core-collapse boundary at $approx 8M_{odot}$, a mass regime rarely investigated in planet formation theory. Here, we establish limits on where both major and minor planets must reside around $approx 6M_{odot}-8M_{odot}$ stars in order to survive into the white dwarf phase. For this mass range, we find that intact terrestrial or giant planets need to leave the main sequence beyond approximate minimum star-planet separations of respectively about 3 and 6 au. In these systems, rubble pile minor planets of radii 10, 1.0, and 0.1 km would have been shorn apart by giant branch radiative YORP spin-up if they formed and remained within, respectively, tens, hundreds and thousands of au. These boundary values would help distinguish the nature of the progenitor of metal-pollution in white dwarf atmospheres. We find that planet formation around the highest mass white dwarf progenitors may be feasible, and hence encourage both dedicated planet formation investigations for these systems and spectroscopic analyses of the highest mass white dwarfs.

The detection of an unexpected $sim 2.5 M_{odot}$ component in the gravitational wave event GW190814 has puzzled the community of High-Energy astrophysicists, since in the absence of further information it is not clear whether this is the heaviest ne utron star ever detected or either the lightest black hole known, of a kind absent in the local neighbourhood. We show in this work a few possibilities for a model of the former, in the framework of three different quark matter models with and without anisotropy in the interior pressure. As representatives of classes of exotic solutions, we show that even though the stellar sequences may reach this ballpark, it is difficult to fulfill simultaneously the constraint of the radius as measured by the NICER team for the pulsar PSR J0030+0451. Thus, and assuming both measurements stand, compact neutron stars can not be all made of self-bound quark matter, even within anisotropic solutions which boost the maximum mass well above the $sim 2.5 M_{odot}$ figure. We also point out that a very massive compact star will limit the absolute maximum matter density in the present Universe to be less than 6 times the nuclear saturation value.

By assuming the formation of a black hole soon after the merger event of GW170817, Shibata et al. updated the constraints on the maximum mass ($M_textrm{max}$) of a stable neutron star within $lesssim$ 2.3 $M_{odot}$, but there is no solid evidence t o rule out $M_textrm{max}>2.3~M_{odot}$ from the point of both microphysical and astrophysical views. In order to explain massive pulsars, it is naturally expected that the equation of state (EOS) would become stiffer beyond a specific density. In this paper, we consider the possibility of EOSs with $M_textrm{max}>2.3~M_{odot}$, investigating the stiffness and the transition density in a polytropic model. Two kinds of neutron stars are considered, i.e., normal neutron stars (the density vanishes on gravity-bound surface) and strange stars (a sharp density discontinuity on self-bound surface). The polytropic model has only two parameter inputs in both cases: ($rho_{rm t}$, $gamma$) for gravity-bound objects, while ($rho_{rm s}$, $gamma$) for self-bound ones, with $rho_{rm t}$ the transition density, $rho_{rm s}$ the surface density and $gamma$ the polytropic exponent. In the matter of $M_textrm{max}>2.3~M_{odot}$, it is found that the smallest $rho_{rm t}$ and $gamma$ should be $sim 0.50~rho_0$ and $sim 2.65$ for normal neutron stars, respectively, whereas for strange star, we have $gamma > 1.40$ if $rho_{rm s} > 1.0~rho_0$ and $rho_{rm s} < 1.58~rho_0$ if $gamma <2.0$ ($rho_0$ is the nuclear saturation density). These parametric results could guide further research of the real EOS with any foundation of microphysics if a pulsar mass higher than $2.3~M_{odot}$ is measured in the future. We also derive rough results of common neutron star radius range, which is $9.8~rm{km} < R_{1.4} < 13.8~rm{km}$ for normal neutron stars and $10.5~rm{km} < R_{1.4} < 12.5~rm{km}$ for strange stars.
In the case of zero-metal (population III or Pop III) stars, we show that the total mass of binary black holes from binary Pop III star evolution can be $sim 150 ,M_{odot}$, which agrees with the mass of the binary black hole GW190521 recently discov ered by LIGO/Virgo. The event rate of such binary black hole mergers is estimated as 0.13--0.66$~(rho_{rm SFR}/(6times10^5~M_{odot}/{rm Mpc}^3))~Err_{rm sys}~{rm yr^{-1}~Gpc^{-3}}$, where $rho_{rm SFR}$ and $Err_{rm sys}$ are the cumulative comoving mass density of Pop III stars depending on star formation rate and the systematic errors depending on uncertainties in the Pop III binary parameters, respectively. The event rate in our fiducial model with $rho_{rm SFR}=6times10^5~M_{odot}/{rm Mpc}^3$ and $ Err_{rm sys}=1$ is 0.13--0.66$~{rm yr^{-1}~Gpc^{-3}}$, which is consistent with the observed value of 0.02--0.43$~{rm yr^{-1}~Gpc^{-3}}$.
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio of 14.7, and an estimated false-alarm rate of 1 in 4900 yr using a sea rch sensitive to generic transients. If GW190521 is from a quasicircular binary inspiral, then the detected signal is consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses of $85^{+21}_{-14} M_{odot}$ and $66^{+17}_{-18} M_{odot}$ (90 % credible intervals). We infer that the primary black hole mass lies within the gap produced by (pulsational) pair-instability supernova processes, and has only a 0.32 % probability of being below $65 M_{odot}$. We calculate the mass of the remnant to be $142^{+28}_{-16} M_{odot}$, which can be considered an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH). The luminosity distance of the source is $5.3^{+2.4}_{-2.6}$ Gpc, corresponding to a redshift of $0.82^{+0.28}_{-0.34}$. The inferred rate of mergers similar to GW190521 is $0.13^{+0.30}_{-0.11},mathrm{Gpc}^{-3},mathrm{yr}^{-1}$.
On 2019 April 25, the LIGO Livingston detector observed a compact binary coalescence with signal-to-noise ratio 12.9. The Virgo detector was also taking data that did not contribute to detection due to a low signal-to-noise ratio, but were used for s ubsequent parameter estimation. The 90% credible intervals for the component masses range from 1.12 to 2.52 $M_{odot}$ (1.45 to 1.88 $M_{odot}$ if we restrict the dimensionless component spin magnitudes to be smaller than 0.05). These mass parameters are consistent with the individual binary components being neutron stars. However, both the source-frame chirp mass $1.44^{+0.02}_{-0.02} M_{odot}$ and the total mass $3.4^{+0.3}_{-0.1},M_{odot}$ of this system are significantly larger than those of any other known binary neutron star system. The possibility that one or both binary components of the system are black holes cannot be ruled out from gravitational-wave data. We discuss possible origins of the system based on its inconsistency with the known Galactic binary neutron star population. Under the assumption that the signal was produced by a binary neutron star coalescence, the local rate of neutron star mergers is updated to $250-2810 text{Gpc}^{-3}text{yr}^{-1}$.
