Coping with loss: Stability of mass transfer from post-main sequence donor stars
K. D. Temmink, O. R. Pols, S. Justham +2
The stability of mass transfer is critical in determining pathways towards various kinds of compact binaries, such as compact main-sequence white-dwarf binaries, and transients, su…
An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring VI: Characterisation of hidden companions in 51 single-lined O-type binaries, a flat mass-ratio distribution, and black-hole binary candidates
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +10
We aim to hunt for massive binaries hosting a black hole companion (OB+BH) and establish the natal mass-ratio distribution of massive stars at the subsolar metallicity environment…
Planet Hunters TESS IV: A massive, compact hierarchical triple star system TIC 470710327
Nora L. Eisner, Cole Johnston, Silvia Toonen +37
We report the discovery and analysis of a massive, compact, hierarchical triple system (TIC 470710327) initially identified by citizen scientists in data obtained by NASA's Transit…
