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…

A systematic survey for hypervelocity runaways from thermonuclear supernovae
Kareem El-Badry, Klaus Werner, Ken J. Shen +16
The explosion of a white dwarf (WD) in a close binary can launch a surviving runaway star at velocities of . Such runaways provide a direct probe of…

Intermediate-Mass Stripped Stars in the Magellanic Clouds: Forward Modeling the Observed Population Discovered Via UV Excess
Lisa Blomberg, Kareem El-Badry, Bethany Ludwig +2
Stripped stars are hot, helium-rich stars formed when binary interactions remove a star's hydrogen envelope. While low-mass () and high-mass ($\gtrsim 8 M_\odot…
