Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution (SMaSH+): Properties of hierarchical massive triples
E. Bordier, H. Sana, A. J. Frost +9
While massive stars are frequently found in triple architectures, the lack of observed parameter distributions has long remained a bottleneck for statistical models of their evolut…
Resolving the smallest scales of massive star formation: A case for next-generation thermal-infrared interferometers
Emma Bordier, Evgenia Koumpia, Lucas Labadie +3
This white paper was submitted to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) as part of the "Expanding horizons: transforming astronomy in the 2040s" call. Understanding how massive s…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XV. The star-disk interaction region of the T Tauri star DO Tau
GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Perraut, J. Bouvier +61
Protoplanetary disks around young Sun-like stars are the cradles of the vast majority of detected exoplanets. Probing these disks at multiple spatial scales is key to uncovering ho…
A binary system in the S cluster close to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*
Florian Peißker, Michal Zajacek, Lucas Labadie +4
High-velocity stars and peculiar G objects orbit the central supermassive black hole (SMBH) Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Together, the G objects and high-velocity stars constitute the…
Investigating 39 Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars with VLTI/GRAVITY: Uncovering A Long Period Binary Desert
K. Deshmukh, H. Sana, A. Mérand +16
Wolf-Rayet stars (WRs) are one of the final evolutionary stages of massive stars and immediate progenitors of stellar-mass black holes. Their multiplicity forms an important anchor…
The onset of stellar multiplicity in massive star formation: A search for low-mass companions of massive young stellar objects with -band adaptive optics imaging
E. Bordier, W. -J. de Wit, A. J. Frost +3
Given the high incidence of binaries among mature field massive stars, it is clear that multiplicity is an inevitable outcome of high-mass star formation. Understanding how massive…
On the origin of close massive binaries in the M17 star-forming region
E. Bordier, A. J. Frost, H. Sana +5
Spectroscopic multiplicity surveys of O stars in young clusters and OB associations have revealed that a large portion ( 70%) of these massive stars (M 15 $M_{\od…
HR 6819 is a binary system with no black hole -- revisiting the source with infrared interferometry and optical integral field spectroscopy
A. J. Frost, J. Bodensteiner, Th. Rivinius +16
Two scenarios have been proposed to match the existing observational constraints of the object HR 6819. The system could consist of a close inner B-type giant plus a black hole (BH…
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…
