Chemical fingerprints of binary mass transfer in massive stars
Harim Jin, Norbert Langer
The majority of massive stars are born in close binary systems. As stars expand when they age, mass transfer or even a merger with their companion is inevitable. However, most bina…
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…
Evolution of wide O star binaries through their LBV stage. Population synthesis with mass-ejection-driven orbital evolution
Xiao-Tian Xu, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +6
Context. Long-period Wolf-Rayet (WR) star binaries produced by mass transfer are predicted to be abundant, but are observationally rare. This yields constraints on the evolution of…
Neutron star-companion interaction in core collapse supernovae. Population synthesis based on detailed binary evolution models
Andrea Ercolino, Norbert Langer, Avishay Gal-Yam +6
Most massive stars live in binary systems. When the first supernova (SN) in a binary occurs, the ejecta hit the companion, which may inflate as a consequence, and then interacts wi…
Interacting binaries on the Main Sequence as in-situ tracers of mass transfer efficiency and stability
Koushik Sen, Mathieu Renzo, Harim Jin +8
Understanding the transfer of mass and angular momentum in binary interactions is crucial for modelling the evolution of any interacting binary after the first mass transfer phase.…
