Spectroscopic follow-up of compact object binary candidates from Gaia DR3: White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and the parallax zeropoint
Kareem El-Badry, David W. Latham, Hans-Walter Rix +12
Astrometry and radial velocities (RVs) from Gaia DR3 yielded orbits for hundreds of thousands of binary systems, including several samples proposed to contain black holes (BHs), ne…
MESS: Multi-Epoch Spectroscopic Solver for Detecting Double-Lined Systems
Gil Nachmani, Simchon Faigler, Tsevi Mazeh
We present MESS, a fully automated algorithm for identifying and characterizing double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2) in large databases of multi-epoch spectra. MESS extends th…
Revisiting Stellar equatorial rotational velocities with Gaia DR3 line broadening -- the dependence on temperature, mass and age
Amitay Sussholz, Tsevi Mazeh, Simchon Faigler
We used more than Gaia DR3 line broadening vbroad measurements to examine stellar rotation as a function of stellar temperature, mass and age. The large sample clearly displ…
VLTI/GRAVITY upper limit on near-infrared emission from the nearby 33 Msun black hole Gaia BH3
Pierre Kervella, Pasquale Panuzzo, Alexandre Gallenne +11
The recent astrometric discovery of the nearby (590 pc) massive () dormant black hole candidate Gaia BH3 offers the possibility to angularly resolve the black hole from…
An upper limit on the frequency of short-period black hole companions to Sun-like stars
Matthew J. Green, Yoav Ziv, Hans-Walter Rix +9
Stellar-mass black holes descend from high-mass stars, most of which had stellar binary companions. However, the number of those binary systems that survive the binary evolution an…
A generative model for Gaia astrometric orbit catalogs: selection functions for binary stars, giant planets, and compact object companions
Kareem El-Badry, Casey Lam, Berry Holl +4
Astrometry from Gaia DR3 has produced a sample of 170,000 Keplerian orbital solutions, with many more anticipated in the next few years. These data have enormous potential to…
