Triple-induced mergers of black hole binaries: A comprehensive look at the role of stellar evolution, dynamical stability, and spin evolution

C. W. Bruenech, S. Toonen, T. Boekholt +1

Mergers of black holes (BHs) have been shown to be a ubiquitous phenomenon in the Universe. However, uncertainties remain in our theoretical understanding of the evolution of the B…

Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73

Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (…

Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution (SMaSH+): Properties of hierarchical massive triples

E. Bordier, H. Sana, A. J. Frost +9

While massive stars are frequently found in triple architectures, the lack of observed parameter distributions has long remained a bottleneck for statistical models of their evolut…

Binary imposters: Mergers in massive hierarchical triple stars

F. Kummer, G. Simion, S. Toonen +1

Massive stars are often born in triples, where gravitational dynamics and stellar interactions play a crucial role in shaping their evolution. One such pathway includes the merger…

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…

Massive Interacting Binaries Enhance Feedback in Star-Forming Regions

Claude Cournoyer-Cloutier, Eric P. Andersson, Sabrina M. Appel +9

We present a new framework to incorporate feedback from massive interacting binaries in simulations of star cluster formation. Our new feedback model adds binary stellar evolution…
