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 (…

Southern Massive Stars at High Angular Resolution (SMaSH+): Properties of hierarchical massive triples

E. Bordier, H. Sana, A. J. Frost +9

While massive stars are frequently found in triple architectures, the lack of observed parameter distributions has long remained a bottleneck for statistical models of their evolut…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity XV. On the metallicity dependence of B-supergiant mass-loss rates

O. Verhamme, J. O. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +21

Context. For stellar evolution models we rely on mass-loss rate prescriptions that show features that lack empirical confirmation, such as the bi-stability jump. This jump is an in…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity XIV. Properties of SMC late-O and B supergiants reveal the metallicity dependence of winds in the Magellanic Clouds

T. Alkousa, P. A. Crowther, J. M. Bestenlehner +10

Considering the physics of radiation-driven winds of massive stars, the wind properties should depend on the metal content of the stellar atmosphere. Therefore, studying the winds…

Interferometry of Massive Stars: Multiplicity, Magnetism, and Stellar Winds

H. Sana E. Bordier, K. Deshmukh, A. J. Frost +7

After decades of efforts, optical long-baseline interferometry has become a mainstream observational technique in terms of operation robustness and user friendliness. Interferometr…

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…
