Uncovering astrometric black hole binaries with massive main-sequence companions with Gaia
S. Janssens, T. Shenar, H. Sana +6
The hunt for compact objects is on. Rarely seen massive binaries with a compact object are a crucial phase in the evolution towards compact object mergers. In Gaia data release 3 (…
Search for Dormant Black Holes in Ellipsoidal Variables III. The OGLE BULGE Short-Period Sample
Roy Gomel, Simchon Faigler, Tsevi Mazeh +1
This is the third of a series of papers that presents an algorithm to search for close binaries with massive, possibly compact, unseen secondaries. The detection of such a binary i…
Search for Dormant Black Holes in Ellipsoidal Variables II. A Binary Modified Minimum Mass Ratio
Roy Gomel, Simchon Faigler, Tsevi Mazeh
This is the second of a series of papers that focuses on searching large sets of photometric light curves for evidence of close binaries with a dormant black hole, and, in some cas…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: Structure and properties of the Magellanic Clouds
Gaia Collaboration, X. Luri, L. Chemin +417
We compare the Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 performances in the study of the Magellanic Clouds and show the clear improvements in precision and accuracy in the new release. We also show…
Gaia Early Data Release 3: The Galactic anticentre
Gaia Collaboration, T. Antoja, P. McMillan +417
We aim to demonstrate the scientific potential of the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) for the study of the Milky Way structure and evolution. We used astrometric positions, proper…
