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…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Bayesian inference of natal kicks from inert black hole binaries
R. Willcox, P. Marchant, A. Vigna-Gómez +15
Context. The emerging population of inert black hole binaries (BHBs) provides a unique opportunity to constrain black hole (BH) formation physics. These systems are composed of a 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): 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…
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.…
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…
Gaia-ESO Survey: massive stars in the Carina Nebula. II. The spectroscopic analysis of the O-star population
S. R. Berlanas, L. Mahy, A. Herrero +9
The new census of massive stars in the Carina nebula reveals the presence of 54 apparently single O-type stars in the Car OB1 association, an extremely active star-forming region w…
