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 (…

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 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): 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 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…

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…
