BAT99 126: A multiple Wolf-Rayet system in the Large Magellanic Cloud with a massive near-contact binary
Soetkin Janssens, Tomer Shenar, Laurent Mahy +3
BAT99 126 is a multiple system in the Large Magellanic Cloud containing a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star, which has a reported spectroscopic (orbital) period of 25.5 days and a photometric (…
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 Carina High-Contrast Imaging Project for massive Stars (CHIPS) I. Methodology and proof of concept on QZ Car ( HD93206)
A. Rainot, M. Reggiani, H. Sana +13
Massive stars like company. However, low-mass companions have remained extremely difficult to detect at angular separations () smaller than 1" (~1000-3000 au considering typical…
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…
