Gravitational-wave (GW) observations are revealing the population of compact objects from a new angle. Yet their stellar progenitors remain uncertain because few observational clues on their progenitors exist. Theoretical models typically assume that the progenitor evolution can be approximated with single-star models. We explore how binary evolution affects the pre-supernova (SN) structure of stars, and the resulting distribution of compact object remnants. We focus on the differences in the core properties of single stars and of donor stars that transfer their outer layers in binary systems and become binary-stripped. We show that the final structures of binary-stripped stars that lose their outer layers before the end of core helium burning are systematically different compared to single stars. As a result, we find that binary-stripped stars tend to explode more easily than single stars and preferentially produce neutron stars and fewer black holes, with consequences for GW progenitors.
