The structure and evolution of Thorne-Zytkow objects
Thorne-Zytkow objects (TZOs) are red supergiants with neutron cores. The energy source in TZOs with low-mass envelopes (less than or similar to 8 Mo) is accretion onto the neutron core, while for TZOs with massive envelopes (greater than or similar to 14 M.) it is nuclear burning via the exotic rp p...
