Mass-dependent multiplicity fraction in low mass stars revealed by Gaia astrometry
Ben Pennell, Hans-Walter Rix, Kareem El-Badry +3
Stellar multiplicity at different orbital periods is probed by different techniques: radial velocities at the shortest periods, direct imaging at the longest, and astrometry in bet…

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…
