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…
Spectroscopic Follow-up of Young High- Dwarf Star Candidates: Still Likely Genuinely Young
Yuxi Lu, Catherine Manea, Maryum Sayeed +9
The question of whether genuinely young high- stars exist has been discussed for over a decade since their discovery from asteroseismology of giant stars as it is challenging t…
Weighing The Options: The Unseen Companion in LAMOST J2354 is Likely a Massive White Dwarf
M. A. Tucker, A. J. Wheeler, D. M. Rowan +1
LAMOST J235456.73+335625 (J2354) is a binary system hosting a K dwarf and a dark companion, supposedly a neutron star, in a 0.48d orbi…
PromoPlot: Covering open-access fees by filling wasted space in corner plots
Dominick M. Rowan, John D. Roberts
In an effort to reduce drain on grant funds and decrease unused space in publications, we have developed a Python package for inserting advertisements into the space left empty by…
