Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73

Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Projected rotational velocities

D. J. Lennon, S. R. Berlanas, A. Herrero +36

The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It w…

The Triple System V1371 Tau: An Eclipsing Binary with an Outer Be Star

Danilo F. Rocha, Marcelo Emilio, Jonathan Labadie-Bartz +10

Although triple systems are common, their orbital dynamics and stellar evolution remain poorly understood. We investigated the V1371 Tau system using TESS photometry, multi-epoch s…

A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

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

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

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) -- 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): 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…

Distance and age of the massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1. II. The eclipsing binary W36

Danilo F. Rocha, Leonardo A. Almeida, Augusto Damineli +3

Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is one of the most relevant star clusters in the Milky Way to study massive star formation, although it is still poorly known. Here, we used photometric and spe…

Distance and age of the massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1. I. Parallax method using Gaia-EDR3

Felipe Navarete, Augusto Damineli, Aura E. Ramirez +2

Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is one of the most massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Although relevant for star formation and evolution, its fundamental parameters are not yet very…
