The role of mass transfer efficiency in stability criteria: Implementation in SEVN and a test on blue stragglers and binary compact objects
M. Echeveste, G. J. Escobar, G. Iorio +12
Context: The stability of mass transfer through Roche-lobe overflow plays a key role in shaping the outcome of binary interactions. However, the criterion for mass transfer stabili…
A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri
Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16
Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…
Stellar rotation and binaries in open clusters with Gaia DR3
Elena Pancino, Elisabetta Reggiani, Silvia Marinoni +14
Stellar rotation is a fundamental ingredient in shaping the evolution of stars and it can also be used to trace past stellar interactions. Yet, systematic studies of stellar rotati…
The MUSE-Faint survey V. The binary fraction of Leo T

Evidence of a massive accretion event 1.8 billion years before the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger
Davide Massari, Chiara Zerbinati, Cristiano Fanelli +15
The merger history of the Galaxy has been traced back firmly to redshift 2 (10 Billion years ago). While evidence for the existence of at least one more significant merger before t…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motions of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters -- II. Kinematic structure of young and intermediate-age clusters
F. Niederhofer, L. Cullinane, D. Massari +14
In this paper, we explore the kinematic properties of a sample of 19 young (<1 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-2.5 Gyr) massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) IV. Chrono-dynamics of seven old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the peculiar origin of NGC 1841
F. Niederhofer, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +15
In this study, we report conclusive evidence for an ancient star cluster that has been accreted by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). By leveraging observations from the Hubble Spac…
Testing the Role of Merging Binaries in the Formation of the Split Main Sequence in Young Clusters
Nate Bastian, Sebastian Kamann, Florian Niederhofer +1
A number of theories have been put forward to explain the bi-modal stellar rotational distribution observed in young massive clusters. These include stellar mergers and interaction…
Tracing stellar rotation in young massive LMC clusters
Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Florian Niederhofer +8
We present a detailed analysis of stellar rotation along the main sequences of NGC 1866 and NGC 1856, two young (~200-300 Myr) massive clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using…
EWOCS-IV: 1Ms ACIS Chandra observation of the supergiant B[e] star Wd1-9
K. Anastasopoulou, M. G. Guarcello, J. J. Drake +21
Supergiant B[e] (sgB[e]) stars are exceptionally rare objects, with only a handful of confirmed examples in the Milky Way. The evolutionary pathways leading to the sgB[e] phase rem…
Survey of Surveys. II. Stellar parameters for 23 millions of stars

In the current panorama of large surveys, the vast amount of data obtained with different methods, data types, formats, and stellar samples, is making an efficient use of the avail…
Stellar rotation in the intermediate-age massive cluster NGC 1783: clues on the nature of UV-dim stars
Silvia Leanza, Emanuele Dalessandro, Mario Cadelano +9
Over the past decade, stellar rotation has emerged as a key factor in shaping the morphology of color-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate-age star clusters. In this study,…
Chemical tagging with APOGEE, MUSE, and HST: constraints on the formation of Centauri
Andrew C. Mason, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Sebastian Kamann +9
A plethora of evidence suggests that Centauri ( Cen) is the nuclear star cluster of a galaxy that merged with the Milky Way in early times. We use APOGEE, Gaia, MUSE, and HS…
