MWC656 has been reported as classical Be star with a black hole companion. Revisited spectral variability properties render this unlikely, with a hot subdwarf more probable.

  1. Why do massive stars form bow shocks? Bulk ISM motion as the main driver of bow shock formation and geometry

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bulk interstellar gas motion, not stellar motion, dominates most massive star bow shocks; only about 21% are classical aligned bow shocks.

  2. Complex spectral variability and hints of a luminous companion in the Be star + black hole binary candidate ALS 8814

    astro-ph.SR 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ALS 8814 is likely a double-lined binary with two luminous stars plus a possible third companion, not a Be star + black hole binary.

  3. New Field OB and OBe Binaries of the SMC Wing: Observational Properties and Population Modeling

    astro-ph.SR 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A six-year radial-velocity and light-curve survey finds that field OBe binaries in the SMC Wing are eccentric while OB binaries are circular, supporting a binary supernova origin for OBe stars.
