Where are the binaries? -- Searching for blue horizontal-branch stars in binary systems in the inner Galactic Halo

R. Culpan, M. Dorsch, I. Pelisoli +14

Blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars are evolved low-mass objects that have completed their core hydrogen burning main-sequence (MS) stage and have lost significant mass during the r…

Ancient, eclipsing, tidally-locked: A blue lurker progenitor in the population of extreme-velocity star candidates

A. Bhat, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +5

Many extreme velocity candidate stars have been found based on \textit{Gaia} astrometry, but need spectroscopic confirmation. We select late-type hypervelocity star (HVS) candidate…

Spectroscopic Observations of Four Candidates for Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators. No BLAPs at High Galactic Latitudes

P. Pietrukowicz, M. Latour, F. Di Mille +3

We have obtained spectroscopic observations for four short-period variable objects detected in ZTF, Gaia, and Pan-STARRS (ZGP) data and classified as Blue Large-Amplitude Pulsators…

A 500 pc volume-limited sample of hot subluminous stars I. Space density, scale height, and population properties

H. Dawson, S. Geier, U. Heber +25

We present the first volume-limited sample of spectroscopically confirmed hot subluminous stars out to 500 pc, defined using the accurate parallax measurements from the {\em Gaia}…

SHOTGLAS II. MUSE spectroscopy of blue horizontal branch stars in the core of Centauri and NGC 6752

M. Latour, S. Hämmerich, M. Dorsch +5

In this work, we characterize the properties of HB stars in the GCs Cen and NGC 6752. We use dedicated model atmospheres and synthetic spectra grids computed using a hybrid LTE…

The first massive compact companion in a wide orbit around a hot subdwarf star

S. Geier, M. Dorsch, H. Dawson +5

We report the discovery of the first hot subdwarf B (sdB) star with a massive compact companion in a wide () binary system. It was discovered based on an a…
