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…

Mergers via failed common envelope as a route towards intermediate-mass stripped stars
Annachiara Picco, Pablo Marchant, Daniel Pauli +1
Stripped stars are a common product of binary stellar systems and span a wide mass range from Wolf-Rayet stars to hot subdwarfs and helium white dwarfs. The recent discovery of int…

Good things always come in 3s: trimodality in the binary black-hole chirp-mass distribution supports bimodal black-hole formation
Reinhold Willcox, Fabian R. N. Schneider, Eva Laplace +7
The latest GWTC-4 release from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration nearly doubles the known population of double compact object mergers and reveals a new trimodal structure in…
