Mass-dependent multiplicity fraction in low mass stars revealed by Gaia astrometry
Ben Pennell, Hans-Walter Rix, Kareem El-Badry +3
Stellar multiplicity at different orbital periods is probed by different techniques: radial velocities at the shortest periods, direct imaging at the longest, and astrometry in bet…
Spectroscopic follow-up of compact object binary candidates from Gaia DR3: White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and the parallax zeropoint
Kareem El-Badry, David W. Latham, Hans-Walter Rix +12
Astrometry and radial velocities (RVs) from Gaia DR3 yielded orbits for hundreds of thousands of binary systems, including several samples proposed to contain black holes (BHs), ne…
A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Andreas A. C. Sander +17
Binary interaction in massive stars is expected to produce a large population of intermediate-mass (- M) envelope-stripped stars, yet such objects have remained elusi…
IK Pegasi and the Double-merger Path to Type Ia Supernovae
Na'ama Hallakoun, Sahar Shahaf, Sagi Ben-Ami +3
Recent Gaia astrometry has revealed thousands of main-sequence + white-dwarf binaries (MS+WD) at separations of ~0.1-10 au, including a subset hosting unusually massive (>~0.8 Msun…
Evaluating Classifications of Extremely Metal-poor Candidates Selected from Gaia XP Spectra
Riley Thai, Andrew R. Casey, Alexander Ji +2
Extremely metal-poor stars are intrinsically rare, but emerging methods exist to accurately classify them from all-sky Gaia XP low-resolution spectra. To assess their overall accur…
The physical properties of post-mass-transfer binaries
Rhys Seeburger, Hans-Walter Rix, Kareem El-Badry +4
Aims. We present and analyse the detailed physical properties of six binary stellar systems, originally proposed as possible star-black hole binaries on the basis of radial velocit…
