Good things always come in 3s: trimodality in the binary black-hole chirp-mass distribution supports bimodal black-hole formation

Reinhold Willcox, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Eva Laplace +7

The latest GWTC-4 release from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration nearly doubles the known population of double compact object mergers and reveals a new trimodal structure in…

New gravitational-wave data support a bimodal black-hole mass distribution

R. Willcox, F. R. N. Schneider, E. Laplace +7

Detailed stellar evolution and supernova models yield a bimodal black-hole mass distribution with a narrow peak around 10 solar masses from stars within a narrow range of progenito…

Explodability criteria for the neutrino-driven supernova mechanism

K. Maltsev, F. R. N. Schneider, I. Mandel +4

Massive stars undergoing iron core-collapse at the end of their evolution terminate their lives either in successful or failed supernovae (SNe). The physics of core-collapse supern…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Enhanced multiplicity of early B-type dwarfs and giants at

J. I. Villaseñor, H. Sana, L. Mahy +32

Early B-type stars ( M) are frequently in multiple systems, as evidenced by spectroscopic campaigns in the Milky Way (MW) and the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Pr…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): The multiplicity properties and evolution of BAF-type supergiants

L. R. Patrick, D. J. Lennon, F. Najarro +36

Given the uncertain evolutionary status of blue supergiant stars, their multiplicity properties hold vital clues to better understand their origin and evolution. As part of The Bin…

Binarity at Low Metallicity (BLOeM) -- Multiplicity properties of Oe and Be stars

J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, H. Sana +40

Rapidly rotating classical OBe stars have been proposed as the products of binary interactions, and the fraction of Be stars with compact companions implies that at least some are.…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Multiplicity of early B-type supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud

N. Britavskiy, L. Mahy, D. J. Lennon +32

The blue supergiant (BSG) domain contains a large variety of stars whose past and future evolutionary paths are still highly uncertain. Since binary interaction plays a crucial rol…

Not just winds: why models find binary black hole formation is metallicity dependent, while binary neutron star formation is not

L. A. C. van Son, S. K. Roy, I. Mandel +6

Both detailed and rapid population studies alike predict that binary black hole (BHBH) formation is orders of magnitude more efficient at low metallicity than high metallicity, whi…

Age dissection of the Milky Way discs: red giants in the Kepler field

Andrea Miglio, Cristina Chiappini, Ted Mackereth +16

[Abridged] Ensemble studies of red-giant stars with exquisite asteroseismic, spectroscopic, and astrometric constraints offer a novel opportunity to recast and address long-standin…
