You're Gonna Need a Bigger Core: Calibrating Massive Star Models against Galactic OB-type Stars
Thibault Lechien, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +3
The evolution of massive stars above 8 M depends critically on the amount of mixing above the convective core during the main sequence. However, current models typically ex…
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 (…
Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models
Andrea Ercolino, Norbert Langer, Avishay Gal-Yam +6
Most massive stars live in binary systems. When the first supernova (SN) in a binary occurs, the ejecta hit the companion, which may inflate as a consequence, and then interact wit…
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…
Thermal-timescale accretion does not always yield critical rotation in mass gainers
Chen Wang, Mike Y. M. Lau, Xiang-Dong Li +7
Binary evolution plays a central role in producing rapidly rotating stars. Previous studies have shown that mass gainers in binaries can reach critical rotation after accreting onl…
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…
Evidence of polar and ultralow supernova kicks from the orbits of Be X-ray binaries
Ruggero Valli, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +7
Supernovae, the explosive deaths of massive stars, create heavy elements and form black holes and neutron stars. These compact objects often receive a velocity at formation, a "kic…
Binary mass transfer in 3D: Mass Transfer Rate and Morphology
T. Ryu, R. Sari, S. E. de Mink +6
Mass transfer is crucial in binary evolution, yet its theoretical treatment has long relied on analytic models whose key assumptions remain debated. We present a direct and systema…
Binary stars take what they get: Evidence for Efficient Mass Transfer from Stripped Stars with Rapidly Rotating Companions
Thibault Lechien, Selma E. de Mink, Ruggero Valli +5
Binary stars and their interactions shape the formation of compact binaries, supernovae, and gravitational wave sources. The efficiency of mass transfer - the fraction of mass reta…
Supermassive black holes stripping a subgiant star down to its helium core: a new type of multi-messenger source for LISA
Aleksandra Olejak, Jakob Stegmann, Selma E. de Mink +3
Some stars orbiting supermassive black holes (SMBH) are expected to undergo a gravitational-wave (GW)-driven inspiral and initiate mass transfer on nearly circular orbits. However,…
Using detailed single star and binary evolution models to probe the large observed luminosity spread of red supergiants in young open star clusters
Chen Wang, Lee Patrick, Abel Schootemeijer +12
Red supergiants (RSGs) represent a late evolutionary stage of massive stars. Recent observations reveal that the observed luminosity range of RSGs in young open clusters is wider t…
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.…
Stripped helium-star and compact object binaries in coeval populations -- predictions based on detailed binary evolution models
Chen Wang, Julia Bodensteiner, Xiao-Tian Xu +9
Massive stars mainly form in close binaries, where their mutual interactions can profoundly alter their evolutionary paths. Evolved binaries consisting of a massive OB-type main-se…
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…
Long-term Evolution of Binary Orbits Induced by Circumbinary Disks
Ruggero Valli, Christopher Tiede, Alejandro Vigna-Gómez +6
Circumbinary disks are found in a variety of astrophysical scenarios, spanning binary star formation to accreting supermassive black hole binaries. The interaction with a circumbin…
Is Betelgeuse Really Rotating? Synthetic ALMA Observations of Large-scale Convection in 3D Simulations of Red Supergiants
Jing-Ze Ma, Andrea Chiavassa, Selma E. de Mink +3
The evolved stages of massive stars are poorly understood, but invaluable constraints can be derived from spatially resolved observations of nearby red supergiants, such as Betelge…
BinCodex: a common output format for binary population synthesis
Ruggero Valli, Luca Graziani, the LISA Synthetic UCB Catalogue Group
This document describes BinCodex, a common format for the output of binary population synthesis (BPS) codes agreed upon by the members of the LISA Synthetic UCB Catalogue Group. Th…
Close encounters of black hole - star binaries with stellar-mass black holes
Taeho Ryu, Ruggero Valli, Rudiger Pakmor +3
Dynamical interactions involving binaries play a crucial role in the evolution of star clusters and galaxies. We continue our investigation of the hydrodynamics of three-body encou…
