Mapping Wolf-Rayet winds with spectro-interferometry I. Detection of multiple co-rotating interaction regions in WR 6

K. Deshmukh, A. -N. Chené, A. J. Frost +8

WR 6 is the prototype for periodic variability due to large-scale wind structures in Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, showing a consistent periodicity of 3.76 d in photometry, spectroscopy,…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars III. The short-period binary population

H. Dawson, M. Dorsch, J. Munday +16

Hot subdwarf stars of spectral types O and B (sdO/B) in binaries form as products of substantial mass loss near the tip of the red giant branch and offer powerful constraints on bi…

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 (…

Toward 3D orbits of wide sdO/B binaries I. Six composite systems spatially resolved with VLTI/GRAVITY

K. Deshmukh, S. Geier, H. Sana +7

Hot subdwarf stars (sdO/Bs) are widely considered to be products of binary evolution. A significant fraction of them are found in long-period or wide binaries ( d) with main…

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…

Southern massive stars at high angular resolution: WR 25 is a massive hierarchical triple system

K. Deshmukh, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6

WR 25 is a massive colliding-wind binary in the Carina nebula comprising a WN6ha primary with an O5 companion in an eccentric 208-d orbit. Recent spectroscopic analysis estimates t…

The Tarantula massive binary monitoring VII. The nature of the eccentric O+BH binary candidate VFTS 812

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…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Projected rotational velocities

D. J. Lennon, S. R. Berlanas, A. Herrero +36

The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It w…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars II. Atmospheric parameters, mass distribution, and kinematics

H. Dawson, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +30

We present a quantitative spectroscopic and kinematic analysis of a volume-complete sample of hot subluminous stars within 500 pc of the Sun, assembled using accurate parallax meas…
