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.…
