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…
Physics of Eclipsing Binaries. V. General Framework for Solving the Inverse Problem
Kyle E Conroy, Angela Kochoska, Daniel Hey +6
PHOEBE 2 is a Python package for modeling the observables of eclipsing star systems, but until now has focused entirely on the forward-model -- that is, generating a synthetic mode…
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…
Spectroscopic patch model for massive stars using PHOEBE II and FASTWIND
Michael Abdul-Masih, Hugues Sana, Kyle E. Conroy +4
Massive stars play an important role in the mechanical and chemical evolution of galaxies. Understanding the internal processes of these stars is vital to our understanding of thei…
