Populations of evolved massive binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud I: Predictions from detailed evolution models
X. -T. Xu, C. Schürmann, N. Langer +13
Context. The majority of massive stars are born with a close binary companion. How this affects their evolution and fate is still largely uncertain, especially at low metallicity.…

Populations of evolved massive binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud II: Predictions from rapid binary evolution
C. Schürmann, X. -T. Xu, N. Langer +10
Massive star evolution plays a crucial role in astrophysics but bares large uncertainties. This problem becomes more severe by the majority of massive stars being born in close bin…
