The symphony of pulsations and binarity among massive stars using HERMES spectroscopy and TESS photometry

K. Thomson-Paressant, D. M. Bowman, F. Nardini +16

A wide range of variability mechanisms exist among intermediate mass and massive stars, which are not yet fully understood. Using complementary data sources for a large population…

The landscape of binary core-collapse supernova progenitors and the late emergence of Wolf-Rayet winds

Avishai Gilkis, Eva Laplace, Iair Arcavi +2

The majority of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) progenitors are massive stars in multiple systems, and their evolution and final fate are affected by interactions with their compani…

The Statistics and Environments of Hostless Supernovae

Yu-Jing Qin, Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi +3

Transient surveys routinely detect supernovae (SNe) without obvious host galaxies. To understand the demographics of these "hostless" SNe and to constrain the possible host propert…

The story of SN 2021aatd -- a peculiar 1987A-like supernova with an early-phase luminosity excess

T. Szalai, R. Könyves-Tóth, A. P. Nagy +20

There is a growing number of peculiar events that cannot be assigned to any of the main supernova (SN) classes. SN 1987A and a handful of similar objects, thought to be explosive o…

The Global Asteroseismology Project Proof of Concept: Asteroseismology of Massive Stars with Continuous Ground-Based Observations

Noi Shitrit, Iair Arcavi

Massive (>~ 8 solar masses) stars are the progenitors of many astrophysical systems, yet key aspects of their structure and evolution are poorly understood. Asteroseismology has th…

How much hydrogen is in Type Ib and IIb supernova progenitors?

Avishai Gilkis, Iair Arcavi

Core-collapse supernovae showing little or no hydrogen (denoted by Type IIb and Ib, respectively) are the explosions of massive stars that have lost some or most of their outer env…
