An intermediate-mass stripped star with a dark companion in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Lisa Blomberg, Kareem El-Badry, Peter Senchyna +9
We present discovery of SMASH J004005733351, an intermediate-mass stripped helium star in the Small Magellanic Cloud with a dark companion. The system was identified in a new op…
Revealing Optically Hidden Companions to Intermediate-Mass Stripped Stars with Radial Velocities
Alexander Laroche, Maria R. Drout, Ylva Götberg +7
The recent discovery of a population of intermediate-mass helium stars (2-8 ) in the Magellanic Clouds has opened a new observational window into massive binary evol…
Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73
Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (…
SpecFANN: Spectral Fitting via Artificial Neural Networks I. A deep learning based fastwind emulator and fitting suite
M. Abdul-Masih, C. Hawcroft, T. Lechien +14
The importance of massive stars cannot be overstated: they are powerful probes of the early universe, play a vital role in the chemical and mechanical evolution of their host envir…
Intermediate-Mass Stripped Stars in the Magellanic Clouds: Forward Modeling the Observed Population Discovered Via UV Excess
Lisa Blomberg, Kareem El-Badry, Bethany Ludwig +2
Stripped stars are hot, helium-rich stars formed when binary interactions remove a star's hydrogen envelope. While low-mass () and high-mass ($\gtrsim 8 M_\odot…
The Stripped-Star Ultraviolet Magellanic Cloud Survey (SUMS): The UV Photometric Catalog and Stripped Star Candidate Selection
Bethany Ludwig, Maria R. Drout, Ylva Gotberg +2
Most massive stars will interact with a binary companion during their lifetimes. These interactions can remove the hydrogen-rich envelope, producing intermediate-mass (2-8 M$…
The mass distribution of stars stripped in binaries: The effect of metallicity
B. Hovis-Afflerbach, Y. Götberg, A. Schootemeijer +4
Stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes through binary interaction are thought to be responsible for both hydrogen-poor supernovae and the hard ionizing radiation observed…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74
Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…
Binary Yellow Supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds I: Photometric Candidate Identification
Anna J. G. O'Grady, Maria R. Drout, Kathryn F. Neugent +3
Recent works have constrained the binary fraction of evolved populations of massive stars in local galaxies such as red supergiants and Wolf-Rayet stars, but the binary fraction of…
Stellar properties of observed stars stripped in binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
Y. Gotberg, M. R. Drout, A. P. Ji +6
Massive stars (~8-25Msun) stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes via binary interaction are thought to be the main progenitors for merging neutron stars and stripped-envelope su…
Discovery of the missing intermediate-mass helium stars stripped in binaries
M. R. Drout, Y. Götberg, B. A. Ludwig +4
The theory of binary evolution predicts that many massive stars should lose their hydrogen-rich envelopes via interaction with a companion -- revealing hot helium stars with masses…
Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds. II: Spectroscopic and Environmental Analysis of Thorne-Żytkow Object and Super-AGB Star Candidates
Anna J. G. O'Grady, Maria R. Drout, B. M. Gaensler +9
In previous work we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne-Żyt…
