An upper limit on Galactic OB+black hole binaries from SDSS-V
J. Müller-Horn, H. -W. Rix, S. Shahaf +14
Binaries composed of a luminous OB star and a black hole (BH) are a key evolutionary link between massive stellar binaries and merging compact-object binaries, but only a handful a…
The role of accretion efficiency, natal kicks, and angular momentum transport in the formation of the Gaia black holes
Michela Mapelli, Cecilia Sgalletta, Johanna Müller-Horn +5
Gaia has the potential to deliver several tens of new dormant black holes (BHs) with low-mass stellar companions (hereafter, Gaia BHs) in the upcoming fourth data release. Three Ga…
BE Lyncis is not a Black Hole Binary: Lessons From Gaia and Hipparcos Astrometry
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Thomas J. Maccarone +3
BE Lyncis (BE Lyn) is a well-studied high-amplitude Scuti variable star (HADS). Recently, Niu et al. (2026) analyzed a 39-year baseline of times of maximum light of BE Lyn, rep…
The physical properties of post-mass-transfer binaries
Rhys Seeburger, Hans-Walter Rix, Kareem El-Badry +4
Aims. We present and analyse the detailed physical properties of six binary stellar systems, originally proposed as possible star-black hole binaries on the basis of radial velocit…
A Spectroscopic Search for Dormant Black Holes in Low-Metallicity Binaries
Pranav Nagarajan, Kareem El-Badry, Henrique Reggiani +9
The discovery of the massive black hole (BH) system Gaia BH3 in pre-release Gaia DR4 data suggests that wide BH binaries with luminous companions may be significantly overrepresent…
Millions of Main-Sequence Binary Stars from Gaia BP/RP Spectra
Jiadong Li, Hans-Walter Rix, Yuan-Sen Ting +6
We present the main-sequence binary (MSMS) Catalog derived from Gaia Data Release 3 BP/RP (XP) spectra. Leveraging the vast sample of low-resolution Gaia XP spectra, we develop a f…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
HIP 15429: A newborn Be star on an eccentric binary orbit
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix +9
We identified a new post-interaction binary, HIP 15429, consisting of a stripped star and a recently formed, rapidly rotating Be star companion ( km/s) sharin…
Binary properties of the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104). A dearth of short-period binaries
Johanna Müller-Horn, Fabian Göttgens, Stefan Dreizler +4
Spectroscopic observations of binary stars in globular clusters are essential to shed light on the poorly constrained period, eccentricity, and mass ratio distributions and to deve…
Emerging population of gap-opening planets around type-A stars -- Long-term evolution of the forming planets around HD 163296
Johanna Müller-Horn, Gabriele Pichierri, Bertram Bitsch
The presence of forming planets embedded in their protoplanetary disks has been inferred from the detection of multiring structures in such disks. Most of these suspected planets a…
