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…

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…
