K. Deshmukh, H. Sana, O. Verhamme +9
Massive O-type stars () with an X-ray quiet black hole (BH) companion represent a crucial stage in massive binary evolution leading to binary BH mergers. The p…
Interferometry of Massive Stars: Multiplicity, Magnetism, and Stellar Winds
H. Sana E. Bordier, K. Deshmukh, A. J. Frost +7
After decades of efforts, optical long-baseline interferometry has become a mainstream observational technique in terms of operation robustness and user friendliness. Interferometr…
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…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Projected Rotational Velocities of B stars in the Carina Nebula
W. Santos, S. Daflon, J. V. Sales Silva +19
The Carina Nebula is an active star-forming region with several open clusters rich in massive OB stars, thus making it an optimal target for studying stellar properties such as rot…
An interferometric study of B star multiplicity
A. J. Frost, H. Sana, J-B Le Bouquin +7
Massive stars can have extreme effects on their environments from local to galactic scales. While O star multiplicity has been studied over a broad separation range (to the point w…
Comprehensive UV and Optical spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1: Stellar and wind parameters, abundances, and evolutionary implications
V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander, L. M. Oskinova +7
We present a comprehensive analysis of Cyg X-1, utilizing archival high-resolution UV and optical spectra in conjunction with sophisticated atmospheric models. Notably, this is the…
