The IACOB project: XVI. Surface helium abundances in Galactic O-type stars: indications for identifying binary interaction products

S. Simón-Díaz, G. Holgado, C. Martínez-Sebastián +13

The presence of massive O-type stars with surfaces enriched by CNO-cycle products has been known since the early 1980s. For many years, internal rotational mixing was assumed to be…

Evolutionary models for the Very Massive Stars in the R136 cluster of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Z. Keszthelyi, S. A. Brands, A. de Koter +2

The cluster R136 in the LMC contains a population of stars in excess of 100 M, including R136a1, the most massive star known. Very Massive Stars (VMSs) play an influential…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): The multiplicity properties and evolution of BAF-type supergiants

L. R. Patrick, D. J. Lennon, F. Najarro +36

Given the uncertain evolutionary status of blue supergiant stars, their multiplicity properties hold vital clues to better understand their origin and evolution. As part of The Bin…

Binarity at Low Metallicity (BLOeM) -- Multiplicity properties of Oe and Be stars

J. Bodensteiner, T. Shenar, H. Sana +40

Rapidly rotating classical OBe stars have been proposed as the products of binary interactions, and the fraction of Be stars with compact companions implies that at least some are.…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Multiplicity of early B-type supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud

N. Britavskiy, L. Mahy, D. J. Lennon +32

The blue supergiant (BSG) domain contains a large variety of stars whose past and future evolutionary paths are still highly uncertain. Since binary interaction plays a crucial rol…

The IACOB project XIII. Helium enrichment in O-type stars as a tracer of past binary interaction

C. Martínez-Sebastián, S. Simón-Díaz, H. Jin +4

There is increasing evidence that single-star evolutionary models are inadequate to reproduce all observational properties of massive stars. Binary interaction has emerged as a key…
