Hot blue progenitors of stellar-mass black holes
Avishai Gilkis, Eva Laplace, Maria Drout +7
While the connection between massive stars and supernova explosions is well established observationally, the link between massive stars and black hole formation remains elusive. So…
Intermediate-Mass Stripped Stars in the Magellanic Clouds: Forward Modeling the Observed Population Discovered Via UV Excess
Lisa Blomberg, Kareem El-Badry, Bethany Ludwig +2
Stripped stars are hot, helium-rich stars formed when binary interactions remove a star's hydrogen envelope. While low-mass () and high-mass ($\gtrsim 8 M_\odot…
The Stellar Content of NGC~3603 Revisited: Is the IMF Top Heavy?
Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell, Kathryn F. Neugent +3
Studies of the resolved stellar populations of young massive clusters have shown that the slope of the initial mass function appears to be the same everywhere, with no dependence o…
The Demographics of Binary Companions to Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: Confronting Observations with Population Synthesis
E. Zapartas, O. D. Fox, J. Su +15
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) mark the deaths of massive stars without hydrogen-rich envelopes. Most SESNe likely originate from binary systems where a companion stripped th…
The Stripped-Star Ultraviolet Magellanic Cloud Survey (SUMS): The UV Photometric Catalog and Stripped Star Candidate Selection
Bethany Ludwig, Maria R. Drout, Ylva Gotberg +2
Most massive stars will interact with a binary companion during their lifetimes. These interactions can remove the hydrogen-rich envelope, producing intermediate-mass (2-8 M$…
Betelgeuse's Buddy: X-Ray Constraints on the Nature of Ori B
Anna J. G. O'Grady, Brendan O'Connor, Jared A. Goldberg +8
The d Long Secondary Period of Betelgeuse's optical lightcurve and radial velocity motivated the prediction of a low-mass stellar companion, expected to be at maximal a…
