Type Ib supernovae are bluer than Type Ic supernovae
Harim Jin, Selma E. de Mink, Sebastian Holzner +5
The study finds that Type Ib supernovae are systematically bluer at peak than Type Ic supernovae, suggesting intrinsic differences in progenitor stripping rather than host galaxy r…
How Common Are Common Envelopes? Quantifying Their Role in Forming Gravitational-Wave Sources
Floor S. Broekgaarden, Ana Lam, Sasha Levina +14
A central goal of gravitational-wave astronomy is to use merging binary black hole (BBH), black hole-neutron star (BHNS), and binary neutron star (BNS) systems as fossils to recons…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74
Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…
A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
The mass distribution of stars stripped in binaries: The effect of metallicity
B. Hovis-Afflerbach, Y. Götberg, A. Schootemeijer +4
Stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes through binary interaction are thought to be responsible for both hydrogen-poor supernovae and the hard ionizing radiation observed…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Multiplicity of early B-type supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
N. Britavskiy, L. Mahy, D. J. Lennon +32
The blue supergiant (BSG) domain contains a large variety of stars whose past and future evolutionary paths are still highly uncertain. Since binary interaction plays a crucial rol…
