Investigating the lack of main-sequence companions to massive Be stars
J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, H. Sana
About 20% of all B-type stars are classical Be stars. The Be phenomenon is strongly correlated with rapid rotation, the origin of which remains unclear. It may be rooted in single-…
Is HR 6819 a triple system containing a black hole? -- An alternative explanation
J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, L. Mahy +10
HR 6819 was recently proposed to be a triple system consisting of an inner B-type giant + black hole binary with an orbital period of 40d and an outer Be tertiary. This interpretat…
The 'hidden' companion in LB-1 unveiled by spectral disentangling
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +9
The intriguing binary LS V +22 25 (LB-1) has drawn much attention following claims of it being a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a 79-day orbit comprising a B-type star and…
Multiplicity of the red supergiant population in the young massive cluster NGC 330
L. R. Patrick, D. J. Lennon, C. J. Evans +7
The multiplicity properties of massive stars are one of the important outstanding issues in stellar evolution. Quantifying the binary statistics of all evolutionary phases is essen…
No signature of the orbital motion of a putative 70 solar mass black hole in LB-1
Michael Abdul-Masih, Gareth Banyard, Julia Bodensteiner +13
Liu et al. (2019) recently reported the detection of a 68 [+11/-13] solar mass (Msun) black hole (BH) paired with an 8.2 [+0.9/-1.2] Msun B-type sub-giant star in the 78.9-day spec…
Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38
The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…
