An absence of binary companions to Wolf-Rayet stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud: implications for mass loss and black hole masses at low metallicity
A. Schootemeijer, T. Shenar, N. Langer +5
In order to predict the black hole mass distributions at high redshift, we need to understand whether very massive single stars ( M) at low metallicity lose their…
Massive stars in metal-poor dwarf galaxies are often extreme rotators
Abel Schootemeijer, Danny J. Lennon, Miriam Garcia +3
We probe how common extremely rapid rotation is among massive stars in the early universe by measuring the OBe star fraction in nearby metal-poor dwarf galaxies. We apply a new met…
The spins of stripped B stars support magnetic internal angular momentum transport
C. Schürmann, N. Langer, X. Xu +1
In order to predict the spins of stellar remnants we need to understand the evolution of the internal rotation of stars, and to identify at which stage the rotation of the contract…
Detailed models of interacting short-period massive binary stars
K. Sen, N. Langer, P. Marchant +10
About a quarter of massive binary stars undergo mass transfer while both stars burn hydrogen at their cores, first on the thermal and then on the nuclear timescale. The nuclear tim…
Uncovering astrometric black hole binaries with massive main-sequence companions with Gaia
S. Janssens, T. Shenar, H. Sana +6
The hunt for compact objects is on. Rarely seen massive binaries with a compact object are a crucial phase in the evolution towards compact object mergers. In Gaia data release 3 (…
