Ongoing and Post-Mass-Transfer Binaries: A Living Catalog and Unified Review of Binary Mass Transfer Products
Lieke A. C. van Son, Natsuko Yamaguchi, Pranav Nagarajan +6
Mass transfer is arguably the most defining interaction in binary stellar systems, yet many aspects of its physics remain poorly understood, from stability to endpoints and observa…
Good things always come in 3s: trimodality in the binary black-hole chirp-mass distribution supports bimodal black-hole formation
Reinhold Willcox, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Eva Laplace +7
The latest GWTC-4 release from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration nearly doubles the known population of double compact object mergers and reveals a new trimodal structure in…
Complex spectral variability and hints of a luminous companion in the Be star + black hole binary candidate ALS 8814
Kareem El-Badry, Matthias Fabry, Hugues Sana +2
The emission-line binary ALS 8814 was recently proposed as a Be star + black hole (BH) binary based on large-amplitude radial velocity (RV) variations of a Be star and non-detectio…
New Frontiers in the Study of Magnetic Massive Stars with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Alexandre David-Uraz, Véronique Petit, Coralie Neiner +10
High-mass stars are notable for several reasons: they are characterized by strong winds, which inject momentum and enriched material into their surroundings, and die spectacularly…
Characterisation of B-type stars in four young Galactic open clusters. I. Stellar content and binary properties
Federica Nardini, Julia Bodensteiner, Hugues Sana +3
Multiplicity among massive stars represents a major uncertainty in stellar evolution theory, because the extra physical processes that it introduces significantly impacts each star…
Modeling contact binaries, III. Properties of a population of close, massive binaries
Matthias Fabry, Pablo Marchant, Norbert Langer +1
Among massive stars, binary interaction is the rule rather than the exception. The closest binaries, those with periods of less than about 10 days, undergo mass transfer during cor…
Two waves of massive stars running away from the young cluster R136
Mitchel Stoop, Alex de Koter, Lex Kaper +10
Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters. Their radiation fields, stellar winds, and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the firs…
Low-mass stellar and substellar candidate companions around massive stars in Sco OB1 and M17
Tinne Pauwels, Maddalena Reggiani, Hugues Sana +1
Massive stars are recognized for their high degree of multiplicity, yet the mass ratio regime below 0.1 remains insufficiently explored. It is therefore unknown whether extremely l…
A magnetic massive star has experienced a stellar merger
A. J. Frost, H. Sana, L. Mahy +13
Massive stars (those larger than 8 solar masses at formation) have radiative envelopes that cannot sustain a dynamo, the mechanism that produces magnetic fields in lower-mass stars…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity II. DR1: Advanced optical data products for the Magellanic Clouds
H. Sana, F. Tramper, M. Abdul-Masih +34
Using the medium resolution spectrograph X-shooter, spectra of 235 OB and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in sub-solar metallicity environments have been secured. [...]This second paper focu…
Detecting Stripped Stars While Searching for Quiescent Black Holes
J. Bodensteiner, M. Heida, M. Abdul-Masih +13
While the number of stellar-mass black holes detected in X-rays or as gravitational wave sources is steadily increasing, the known population remains orders of magnitude smaller th…
(Sub)stellar companions shape the winds of evolved stars
L. Decin, M. Montargès, A. M. S. Richards +32
Binary interactions dominate the evolution of massive stars, but their role is less clear for low- and intermediate-mass stars. The evolution of a spherical wind from an asymptotic…
