A magnetic tertiary in the most massive compact triple-star system
S. Hubrig, A. Vigna-Gómez, S. P. Järvinen +2
The system TIC 470710327 is comprised of three main-sequence OB stars, with an inner compact 1.10 d eclipsing binary and a non-eclipsing tertiary on a 52.04 d orbit. With the terti…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Bayesian inference of natal kicks from inert black hole binaries
R. Willcox, P. Marchant, A. Vigna-Gómez +15
Context. The emerging population of inert black hole binaries (BHBs) provides a unique opportunity to constrain black hole (BH) formation physics. These systems are composed of a s…
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.…
The Evolution of Massive Stellar Multiplicity in the Field I. Numerical simulations, long-term evolution and final outcomes
Holly P. Preece, A. Vigna-Gómez, A. S. Rajamuthukumar +2
We investigate how the multiplicity of binary, triple and quadruple star systems changes as the systems evolve from the zero-age main-sequence to the Hubble time. We find the chang…
Thorne-Żytkow Objects
Anna J. G. O'Grady, Takashi J. Moriya, Mathieu Renzo +1
Interacting binary star systems play a critical role in many areas of astrophysics. One interesting example of a binary merger product are Thorne-Żytkow Objects (TŻOs), stars that…
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…
Population synthesis of Thorne-Żytkow objects: Rejuvenated donors and unexplored progenitors in the common envelope formation channel
K. Nathaniel, A. Vigna-Gómez, A. Grichener +3
Context. Common envelope evolution of a massive star and a neutron star companion has two possible outcomes: formation of a short-period binary (a potential gravitational wave sour…
Stripped-envelope stars in different metallicity environments. II. Type I supernovae and compact remnants
David R. Aguilera-Dena, Bernhard Müller, John Antoniadis +4
Stripped-envelope stars can be observed as Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, or as less luminous hydrogen-poor stars with low mass loss rates and transparent winds. Both types are potential p…
Stripped-Envelope Stars in Different Metallicity Environments I. Evolutionary Phases, Classification and Populations
David R. Aguilera-Dena, Norbert Langer, John Antoniadis +5
Massive stars that become stripped of their hydrogen envelope through binary interaction or winds can be observed either as Wolf-Rayet stars, if they have optically thick winds, or…
On the formation history of Galactic double neutron stars
Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Coenraad J. Neijssel, Simon Stevenson +9
Double neutron stars (DNSs) have been observed as Galactic radio pulsars, and the recent discovery of gravitational waves from the DNS merger GW170817 adds to the known DNS populat…
