Stellar nucleosynthesis in the era of large surveys: S-process polluted binaries in GALAH DR4

A. Escorza, S. Vitali, D. Godoy-Rivera +11

Binary interactions during the AGB phase can lead to the formation of chemically peculiar stars with overabundances of s-process elements. Only a few hundreds of these stars have b…

Magnetic field detections in massive systems at different stages of interaction

S. Hubrig, M. Abdul-Masih, S. P. Jarvinen +4

Despite the importance of magnetic fields in massive stars, their origin is widely debated and still not well understood. With the mounting evidence for the importance of studying…

Magnetic massive stars: confirming the merger scenario for the magnetic field generation

Swetlana Hubrig, Markus Schöller, Silva P. Järvinen +4

Magnetic fields are considered to be key components of massive stars, with a far-reaching impact on their evolution and ultimate fate. A magnetic mechanism was suggested for the co…

Constraining the overcontact phase in massive binary evolution -- III. Period stability of known B+B and O+B overcontact systems

Jasmine Vrancken, Michael Abdul-Masih, Ana Escorza +3

Binary systems play a crucial role in massive star evolution. Systems composed of B-type and O-type stars are of particular interest due to their potential to lead to very energeti…

Detection of extragalactic magnetic massive stars

S. Hubrig, M. Schöller, S. P. Jarvinen +4

Studies of the magnetic characteristics of massive stars have recently received significant attention because they are progenitors of highly magnetised compact objects. Stars initi…

Constraining the overcontact phase in massive binary evolution -- II. Period stability of known O+O overcontact systems

Michael Abdul-Masih, Ana Escorza, Athira Menon +2

Given that mergers are often invoked to explain many exotic phenomena in massive star evolution, understanding the evolutionary phase directly preceding a merger, the overcontact p…

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…

The complex fossil magnetic field of the Scuti star HD\,41641

Keegan Thomson-Paressant, Coralie Neiner, Konstanze Zwintz +1

Only three magnetic Scuti stars are known as of today. HD 41641 is a Scuti star showing chemical peculiarities and rotational modulation of its light-curve, making it a goo…
