A Diverse Distribution of Black Hole Spins from Stable Mass Transfer

Linhao Ma, Jakub Klencki, Eliot Quataert +1

Gravitational wave observations have found over 300 merging binary black holes, yet their origins remain uncertain. Recent work showed that many may come from isolated stellar bina…

Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73

The BLOeM campaign presents the first large‑scale spectroscopic survey of 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, revealing a high intrinsic binary fraction (>70%) among m…

Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients as "Failed" Gravitational-wave Sources: Helium CoreBlack Hole Mergers Following Delayed Dynamical Instability

Jakub Klencki, Brian D. Metzger

Binaries in which a massive donor star undergoes an extended ( kyr) phase of stable mass transfer onto a black hole (BH) accretor offer a promising channel for creating LI…

Compact Objects Merging with Stars as an Origin of Ultra-Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients

V. Ashley Villar, Anya E. Nugent, Eric Burns +4

Ultra-long gamma-ray bursts (ULGRBs) and luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) are two rare classes of engine-driven transients whose physical connection remains unknown.…

Non-conservative Mass Transfer as a Formation Channel for Gaia Black Hole System

Aleksandra Olejak, Jakub Klencki, Alejandro Vigna-Gomez +6

The detected Gaia systems hosting compact objects challenge standard models of binary star evolution. In particular, if the observed black hole (BH) systems evolved in isolation, t…

Orbital Eccentricity and Spin-Orbit Misalignment Are Evidence that Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers Form through Triple Star Evolution

Jakob Stegmann, Jakub Klencki

There is growing evidence that a substantial fraction of the neutron star-black holes (NSBHs) detected through gravitational waves merge with non-zero eccentricity or large BH spin…
