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): massive star variability revealed using a novel software tool for point-spread function fitting of TESS images

Pieterjan J. Van Daele, Dominic M. Bowman, Roey Ovadia +12

Massive stars, the progenitors of neutron stars and black holes, play a crucial role in shaping the chemical and radiative properties of entire galaxies through their winds and exp…

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…

The drastic impact of Eddington-limit induced mass ejections on massive star populations

D. Pauli, N. Langer, A. Schootemeijer +6

Massive stars are the key engines of the Universe. However, their evolution and thus their ionizing feedback are still not fully understood. One of the largest gaps in current stel…

The IACOB project: XVI. Surface helium abundances in Galactic O-type stars: indications for identifying binary interaction products

S. Simón-Díaz, G. Holgado, C. Martínez-Sebastián +13

The presence of massive O-type stars with surfaces enriched by CNO-cycle products has been known since the early 1980s. For many years, internal rotational mixing was assumed to be…

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…
