No signature of the orbital motion of a putative 70 solar mass black hole in LB-1

Michael Abdul-Masih, Gareth Banyard, Julia Bodensteiner +13

Liu et al. (2019) recently reported the detection of a 68 [+11/-13] solar mass (Msun) black hole (BH) paired with an 8.2 [+0.9/-1.2] Msun B-type sub-giant star in the 78.9-day spec…

Seismic probing of the first dredge-up event through the eccentric red-giant & red-giant spectroscopic binary KIC9163796

P. G. Beck, T. Kallinger, K. Pavlovski +10

Binaries in double-lined spectroscopic systems provide a homogeneous set of stars. Differences of parameters, such as age or initial conditions, which otherwise would have strong i…
