Dynamically inflated wind models of classical Wolf-Rayet stars
L. G. Poniatowski, J. O. Sundqvist, N. D. Kee +6
Vigorous mass loss in the classical Wolf-Rayet (WR) phase is important for the late evolution and final fate of massive stars. We develop spherically symmetric time-dependent and s…
BAT99 126: A multiple Wolf-Rayet system in the Large Magellanic Cloud with a massive near-contact binary
Soetkin Janssens, Tomer Shenar, Laurent Mahy +3
BAT99 126 is a multiple system in the Large Magellanic Cloud containing a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star, which has a reported spectroscopic (orbital) period of 25.5 days and a photometric (…
Detailed evolutionary models of massive contact binaries: I. Model grids and synthetic populations for the Magellanic Clouds
Athira Menon, Norbert Langer, Selma E. de Mink +8
The majority of close massive binary stars with initial periods of a few days experience a contact phase, in which both stars overflow their Roche lobes simultaneously. We perform…
Is HR 6819 a triple system containing a black hole? -- An alternative explanation
J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, L. Mahy +10
HR 6819 was recently proposed to be a triple system consisting of an inner B-type giant + black hole binary with an orbital period of 40d and an outer Be tertiary. This interpretat…
The 'hidden' companion in LB-1 unveiled by spectral disentangling
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +9
The intriguing binary LS V +22 25 (LB-1) has drawn much attention following claims of it being a single-lined spectroscopic binary with a 79-day orbit comprising a B-type star and…
