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…

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): 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 properties of Oe and Be stars

J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, H. Sana +40

Rapidly rotating classical OBe stars have been proposed as the products of binary interactions, and the fraction of Be stars with compact companions implies that at least some are.…
