Detached Post-Algol Eclipsing Binaries Caught Between Case A and Case AB Mass Transfer
Megan G. Frank, Maxwell Moe, Nathan Smith
For sixty years, stellar evolutionary models have predicted that intermediate-mass stars slightly contract on the terminal-age main-sequence (TAMS) as they exhaust hydrogen in thei…
Using GALEX UV Excess to Search for Metal-poor Halo Stars
Chase L. Smith, Maxwell Moe, Megan Frank +10
Metal-poor solar-type stars display a significant reduction in metal-line blanketing at short wavelengths, leading to an excess of near-ultraviolet (NUV) flux compared to their met…
New Insights into the T Tauri Binary Separation Distribution
Caleb Eastlund, Maxwell Moe, Kaitlin M. Kratter +1
For three decades, adaptive optic surveys have revealed an excess of T Tauri binaries across a = 10-100 au in nearby star-forming regions compared to the field population of main-s…
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 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…
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…
