Revealing Optically Hidden Companions to Intermediate-Mass Stripped Stars with Radial Velocities

Alexander Laroche, Maria R. Drout, Ylva Götberg +7

The recent discovery of a population of intermediate-mass helium stars (2-8 ) in the Magellanic Clouds has opened a new observational window into massive binary evol…

Pair-instability evolution and explosions in massive stars

M. Renzo, N. Smith

Very massive stars are radiation pressure dominated. Before running out of viable nuclear fuel, they can reach a thermodynamic state where electron-positron pair-production robs th…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

Pulsational pair-instability supernovae in gravitational-wave and electromagnetic transients

D. D. Hendriks, L. A. C. van Son, M. Renzo +2

Current observations of binary black-hole ({BBH}) merger events show support for a feature in the primary BH-mass distribution at , previously interpr…

Observational predictions for Thorne-Żytkow objects

R. Farmer, M. Renzo, Y. Götberg +3

Thorne-ytkow objects (TO) are potential end products of the merger of a neutron star with a non-degenerate star. In this work, we have computed the first grid of evolutionary…

Strong Variability in AzV 493, an Extreme Oe-Type Star in the SMC

M. S. Oey, N. Castro, M. Renzo +11

We present 18 years of OGLE photometry together with spectra obtained over 12 years, revealing that the early Oe star AzV 493 shows strong photometric (Delta I < 1.2 mag) and spect…
