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…
The Stellar Winds Atlas II: Black Hole Formation at Solar Metallicity
Amedeo Romagnolo, Floor S. Broekgaarden, Alex C. Gormaz-Matamala +7
The paper builds a comprehensive grid of stellar evolution models to compare 14 wind prescriptions and shows that black‑hole masses at solar metallicity are determined by whether a…
Southern massive stars at high angular resolution: WR 25 is a massive hierarchical triple system
K. Deshmukh, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6
The paper reports the first interferometric resolution of the massive star system WR 25, revealing it as a hierarchical triple with a close WN6ha+O5 binary and a more distant O7 te…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): massive star variability revealed using a novel software tool for point-spread function fitting of TESS images
Pieterjan J. Van Daele, Dominic M. Bowman, Roey Ovadia +12
Massive stars, the progenitors of neutron stars and black holes, play a crucial role in shaping the chemical and radiative properties of entire galaxies through their winds and exp…
Building a Roadmap for Hubble science into the 2030s: Crucial UV spectroscopy of Oe stars in nearby galaxies
A. Wofford, D. Pauli, A. A. C. Sander +12
Hubble's unique COS G130M+G160M and STIS E140M UV spectral capabilities are essential for characterizing and understanding fundamental properties of main-sequence O-type emission-l…
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…
