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…
