Ultraviolet spectroscopy reveals a hot and luminous companion to the Be star+black hole candidate MWC 656

Johanna Müller-Horn, Varsha Ramachandran, Kareem El-Badry +11

The Galactic Be star binary MWC 656 was long considered the only known Be star+black hole (BH) system, making it a critical benchmark for models of massive binary evolution and for…

Dormant black hole candidates from Gaia DR3 summary diagnostics

Johanna Müller-Horn, Hans-Walter Rix, Kareem El-Badry +4

We present a rigorous identification of candidates for dormant black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) in binaries using summary statistics from Gaia DR3, rather than full orbita…

Gaia Barium Dwarfs and Their Ostensibly Ordinary Counterparts

Param Rekhi, Sahar Shahaf, Sagi Ben-Ami +4

The recently identified Gaia population of main-sequence--white dwarf (MS+WD) binaries at separations of , often with moderate eccentricities, is not readily re…

Identification of 30,000 White Dwarf-Main Sequence binaries candidates from Gaia DR3 BP/RP(XP) low-resolution spectra

Jiadong Li, Yuan-Sen Ting, Hans-Walter Rix +5

White dwarf-main sequence (WDMS) binary systems are essential probes for understanding binary stellar evolution and play a pivotal role in constraining theoretical models of variou…

A closer look at the binary content of NGC 1850

S. Saracino, S. Kamann, N. Bastian +7

Studies of young clusters have shown that a large fraction of O-/early B-type stars are in binary systems, where the binary fraction increases with mass. These massive stars are pr…
