Spectroscopic follow-up of compact object binary candidates from Gaia DR3: White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and the parallax zeropoint
Kareem El-Badry, David W. Latham, Hans-Walter Rix +12
Astrometry and radial velocities (RVs) from Gaia DR3 yielded orbits for hundreds of thousands of binary systems, including several samples proposed to contain black holes (BHs), ne…
A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Andreas A. C. Sander +17
Binary interaction in massive stars is expected to produce a large population of intermediate-mass (- M) envelope-stripped stars, yet such objects have remained elusi…
Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73
The BLOeM campaign presents the first large‑scale spectroscopic survey of 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, revealing a high intrinsic binary fraction (>70%) among m…
IK Pegasi and the Double-merger Path to Type Ia Supernovae
Na'ama Hallakoun, Sahar Shahaf, Sagi Ben-Ami +3
Recent Gaia astrometry has revealed thousands of main-sequence + white-dwarf binaries (MS+WD) at separations of ~0.1-10 au, including a subset hosting unusually massive (>~0.8 Msun…
Chemical Signatures of AGB Mass Transfer in Gaia White Dwarf Companions
Natsuko Yamaguchi, Kareem El-Badry, Henrique Reggiani +2
We present a homogeneous abundance analysis of 160 main-sequence stars in astrometric white-dwarf + main-sequence (WD+MS) binaries with orbits from Gaia DR3. These systems have AU-…
Gaia Barium Dwarfs and Their Ostensibly Ordinary Counterparts
Param Rekhi, Sahar Shahaf, Sagi Ben-Ami +4
The recently identified Gaia population of main-sequence--white dwarf (MS+WD) binaries at separations of , often with moderate eccentricities, is not readily re…
