A multi-epoch survey of 128 BAF supergiants in the SMC finds very low binary fractions (25% for B5-9, 5% for AF), implying these stars did not evolve directly from main-sequence binaries.

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): The multiplicity properties and evolution of BAF-type supergiants
A multi-epoch survey of 128 BAF supergiants in the SMC finds very low binary fractions (25% for B5-9, 5% for AF), implying these stars did not evolve directly from main-sequence binaries.
