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…

Spin-down and reduced mass loss in early-type stars with large-scale magnetic fields

Z. Keszthelyi, A. de Koter, Y. Götberg +12

Magnetism can greatly impact the evolution of stars. In some stars with OBA spectral types there is direct evidence via the Zeeman effect for stable, large-scale magnetospheres, wh…

The Detection and Characterization of Be+sdO Binaries from HST/STIS FUV Spectroscopy

Luqian Wang, Douglas R. Gies, Geraldine J. Peters +4

The B-emission line stars are rapid rotators that were probably spun up by mass and angular momentum accretion through mass transfer in an interacting binary. Mass transfer will st…

Spectral Signatures of Population III and Envelope-stripped Stars in Galaxies at the Epoch of Reionization

Elizabeth Berzin, Amy Secunda, Renyue Cen +2

While most simulations of the epoch of reionization have focused on single-stellar populations in star-forming dwarf galaxies, products of binary evolution are expected to signific…

Delayed Photons from Binary Evolution Help Reionize the Universe

Amy Secunda, Renyue Cen, Taysun Kimm +2

High-resolution numerical simulations including feedback and aimed at calculating the escape fraction (fesc) of hydrogen-ionizing photons often assume stellar radiation based on si…

The expansion of stripped-envelope stars: consequences for supernovae and gravitational-wave progenitors

E. Laplace, Y. Götberg, S. E. de Mink +2

Massive binaries that merge as compact objects are the progenitors of gravitational-wave sources. Most of these binaries experience one or more phases of mass transfer, during whic…

Sensitivity of the lower-edge of the pair instability black hole mass gap to the treatment of time dependent convection

M. Renzo, R. J. Farmer, S. Justham +3

Gravitational-wave detections are now probing the black hole (BH) mass distribution, including the predicted pair-instability mass gap. These data require robust quantitative predi…

Predictions for the hydrogen-free ejecta of pulsational pair-instability supernovae

M. Renzo, R. Farmer, S. Justham +5

Present time-domain astronomy efforts will unveil a variety of rare transients. We focus here on pulsational pair-instability evolution, which can result in signatures observable w…

The impact of stars stripped in binaries on the integrated spectra of stellar populations

Y. Götberg, S. E. de Mink, J. H. Groh +2

Stars stripped of their envelopes from interaction with a binary companion emit a significant fraction of their radiation as ionizing photons. They are potentially important stella…

The diverse lives of progenitors of hydrogen-rich core-collapse supernovae: the role of binary interaction

Emmanouil Zapartas, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +7

Hydrogen-rich supernovae, known as Type II (SNe II), are the most common class of explosions observed following the collapse of the core of massive stars. We use analytical estimat…

Massive runaways and walkaway stars

M. Renzo, E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink +6

Anticipating the kinematic constraints from the Gaia mission, we perform an extensive numerical study of the evolution of massive binary systems to predict the peculiar velocities…

Spectral models for binary products: Unifying Subdwarfs and Wolf-Rayet stars as a sequence of stripped-envelope stars

Y. Götberg, S. E. de Mink, J. H. Groh +4

Stars stripped of their envelope through interaction in a binary are generally not considered when accounting for ionizing radiation from stellar populations, despite the expectati…
