The lack of fast rotators in Cyg OB2. I. Insights from spectral reclassification of its B0 population

D. Galán-Diéguez, S. R. Berlanas, A. Herrero +4

Context. Cygnus OB2, in the Cygnus X complex -- one of the most active star-forming regions of the Galaxy -- hosts hundreds of O- and B-type stars at different evolutionary stages.…

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…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Pipeline-Determined Physical Properties of OB Stars

J. M. Bestenlehner, Paul A. Crowther, V. A. Bronner +8

We aim to determine the physical properties of OB stars from the multi-epoch VLT/FLAMES BLOeM spectroscopic survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We apply a pipeline designed to an…

Populations of evolved massive binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud II: Predictions from rapid binary evolution

C. Schürmann, X. -T. Xu, N. Langer +10

Massive star evolution plays a crucial role in astrophysics but bares large uncertainties. This problem becomes more severe by the majority of massive stars being born in close bin…

Populations of evolved massive binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud I: Predictions from detailed evolution models

X. -T. Xu, C. Schürmann, N. Langer +13

Context. The majority of massive stars are born with a close binary companion. How this affects their evolution and fate is still largely uncertain, especially at low metallicity.…

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…
