Characterisation of B-type stars in four young Galactic open clusters. I. Stellar content and binary properties
Federica Nardini, Julia Bodensteiner, Hugues Sana +3
Multiplicity among massive stars represents a major uncertainty in stellar evolution theory, because the extra physical processes that it introduces significantly impacts each star…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
Observational mapping of the mass discrepancy in eclipsing binaries: Selection of the sample and its photometric and spectroscopic properties
A. Tkachenko, K. Pavlovski, N. Serebriakova +4
Abridged. Eclipsing spectroscopic double-lined binaries are the prime source of precise and accurate measurements of masses and radii of stars. These measurements provide a stringe…
A massive helium star with a sufficiently strong magnetic field to form a magnetar
T. Shenar, G. A. Wade, P. Marchant +13
Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars; their formation mechanism is unknown. Hot helium-rich stars with spectra dominated by emission lines are known as Wolf-Rayet stars. W…
The ESO UVES/FEROS Large Programs of TESS OB pulsators. I. Global stellar parameters from high-resolution spectroscopy
Nadya Serebriakova, Andrew Tkachenko, Sarah Gebruers +7
Modern stellar structure and evolution theory experiences a lack of observational calibrations for the interior physics of intermediate- and high-mass stars. This leads to discrepa…
Tidal perturbations and eclipse mapping in the pulsations in the hierarchical triple system U~Gru
Cole Johnston, Andrew Tkachenko, Timothy Van Reeth +4
Context. Unambiguous examples of the influence of tides on self-excited, free stellar pulsations have recently been observationally detected in space-based photometric data. Aims.…
The Nature of Unseen Companions in Massive Single-Line Spectroscopic Binaries
Hugues Sana, Michael Abdul-Masih, Gareth Banyard +14
Massive stars are predominantly found in binaries and higher order multiples. While the period and eccentricity distributions of OB stars are now well established across different…
Detecting Stripped Stars While Searching for Quiescent Black Holes
J. Bodensteiner, M. Heida, M. Abdul-Masih +13
While the number of stellar-mass black holes detected in X-rays or as gravitational wave sources is steadily increasing, the known population remains orders of magnitude smaller th…
Tango of celestial dancers: A sample of detached eclipsing binary systems containing g-mode pulsating components. A case study of KIC9850387
S. Sekaran, A. Tkachenko, M. Abdul-Masih +9
Eclipsing binary systems with components that pulsate in gravity modes ( modes) allow for simultaneous and independent constraints of the chemical mixing profiles of stars. We a…
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…
Binary Asteroseismic Modelling: isochrone-cloud methodology and application to Kepler gravity-mode pulsators
C. Johnston, A. Tkachenko, C. Aerts +5
The simultaneous presence of variability due to both pulsations and binarity is no rare phenomenon. Unfortunately, the complexities of dealing with even one of these sources of var…
