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…

A new sample of massive B-type contact binary candidates from the OGLE survey of the Magellanic Clouds
Athira Menon, Michal Pawlak, Daniel J. Lennon +2
Massive contact binaries (CBs) are key to understanding close-binary evolution and stellar mergers, yet their study has been limited by the scarcity of observed systems, particular…

Constraining the overcontact phase in massive binary evolution -- III. Period stability of known B+B and O+B overcontact systems
Jasmine Vrancken, Michael Abdul-Masih, Ana Escorza +3
Binary systems play a crucial role in massive star evolution. Systems composed of B-type and O-type stars are of particular interest due to their potential to lead to very energeti…
