Betelgeuse as a Merger of a Massive Star with a Companion
We investigate the merger between a 16 M _⊙ star, on its way to becoming a red supergiant (RSG), and a 4 M _⊙ main-sequence companion. Our study employs three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations using the state-of-the-art adaptive mesh refinement code O cto -T iger . The initially corotating binary...
