The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: III. Atmosphere analysis of double-lined spectroscopic systems
L. Mahy, H. Sana, M. Abdul-Masih +17
Accurate stellar parameters of individual objects in binary systems are essential to constrain the effects of binarity on stellar evolution. These parameters serve as a prerequisit…
No signature of the orbital motion of a putative 70 solar mass black hole in LB-1
Michael Abdul-Masih, Gareth Banyard, Julia Bodensteiner +13
Liu et al. (2019) recently reported the detection of a 68 [+11/-13] solar mass (Msun) black hole (BH) paired with an 8.2 [+0.9/-1.2] Msun B-type sub-giant star in the 78.9-day spec…
Clues on the Origin and Evolution of Massive Contact Binaries: Atmosphere Analysis of VFTS 352
Michael Abdul-Masih, Hugues Sana, Jon Sundqvist +10
The massive O4.5 V + O5.5 V binary VFTS 352 in the Tarantula nebula is one of the shortest-period and most massive overcontact binaries known. Recent theoretical studies indicate t…
Barium & related stars and their white-dwarf companions II. Main-sequence and subgiant stars
A. Escorza, D. Karinkuzhi, A. Jorissen +12
Barium (Ba) dwarfs and CH subgiants are the less-evolved analogues of Ba and CH giants. They are F- to G-type main-sequence stars polluted with heavy elements by a binary companion…
