  text: Stellar wind mass loss of massive stars is often assumed to depend on their
    metallicity Z. Therefore, evolutionary models predict that massive stars in lower-Z
    environments are able to retain more of their hydrogen-rich layers and evolve
    into brighter cool supergiants (cool SGs; Teff < 7 kK). Surprisingly, in galaxies
    in the metallicity range 0.2 ≲ Z/Z⊙ ≲ 1.5, previous studies have not found a metallicity
    dependence on the upper luminosity limit Lmax of cool SGs. Here, we add four galaxies
    to the sample studied for this purpose with data from the Hubble Space Telescope
    and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Observations of the extremely metal-poor
    dwarf galaxy I Zw 18 from JWST allow us to extend the studied metallicity range
    down to Z/Z⊙ ≈ 1/40. For cool SGs in all studied galaxies, including I Zw 18,
    we find a constant value of Lmax ≈ 105.6 L⊙, similar to literature results for
    0.2 ≲ Z/Z⊙ ≲ 1.5. In I Zw 18 and the other studied galaxies, the presence of Wolf-Rayet
    stars has been previously inferred. Although we cannot rule out that some of them
    become intermediate-temperature objects, this paints a picture in which evolved
    stars with L > 105.6 L⊙ burn helium as hot, helium-rich stars down to extremely
    low metallicity. We argue that metallicity-independent late-phase mass loss would
    be the most likely mechanism responsible for this. Regardless of the exact stripping
    mechanism (winds or, for example, binary interaction), for the Early Universe
    our results imply a limitation on black hole masses and a contribution of stars
    born with M ≳ 30 M⊙ to its surprisingly strong nitrogen enrichment. We propose
    a scenario in which single stars at low metallicity emit sufficiently hard ionizing
    radiation to produce He II and C IV lines. In this scenario, late-phase metallicity-independent
    mass loss produces hot, helium-rich stars. Due to the well-understood metallicity
    dependence on the radiation-driven winds of hot stars, a window of opportunity
    would open below 0.2 Z⊙, where self-stripped helium-rich stars can exist without
    dense Wolf-Rayet winds that absorb hard ionizing radiation.

  text: Stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes through binary interaction
    are thought to be responsible for both hydrogen-poor supernovae and the hard ionizing
    radiation observed in low-Z galaxies. A population of these stars was recently
    observed for the first time, but their prevalence remains unknown. In preparation
    for such measurements, we estimate the mass distribution of hot, stripped stars
    using a population synthesis code that interpolates over detailed single and binary
    stellar evolution tracks. We predict that for a constant star formation rate of
    1 M⊙/yr and regardless of metallicity, a scalable model population contains ∼30
    000 stripped stars with mass Mstrip > 1 M⊙ and ∼4000 stripped stars that are sufficiently
    massive to explode (Mstrip > 2.6 M⊙). Below Mstrip = 5 M⊙, the distribution is
    metallicity-independent and can be described by a power law with the exponent
    α ∼ −2. At higher masses and lower metallicity (Z ≲ 0.002), the mass distribution
    exhibits a drop. This originates from the prediction, frequently seen in evolutionary
    models, that massive low-metallicity stars do not expand substantially until central
    helium burning or later and therefore cannot form long-lived stripped stars. With
    weaker line-driven winds at low metallicity, this suggests that neither binary
    interaction nor wind mass loss can efficiently strip massive stars at low metallicity.
    As a result, a “helium-star desert” emerges around Mstrip = 15 M⊙ at Z = 0.002,
    covering an increasingly large mass range with decreasing metallicity. We note
    that these high-mass stars are those that potentially boost a galaxy’s He+-ionizing
    radiation and that participate in the formation of merging black holes. This “helium-star
    desert” therefore merits further study.

  text: "Context. 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 role in the fate of massive stars, investigating the
    multiplicity among BSGs helps shed light on the fate of such objects.\r\nAims.
    We aim to estimate the binary fraction of a large sample of BSGs in the Small
    Magellanic Cloud (SMC) within the Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey.
    In total, we selected 262 targets with spectral types B0-B3 and luminosity classes
    I-II.\r\n\r\nMethods. This work is based on spectroscopic data collected by the
    FLAMES instrument, mounted on the Very Large Telescope, which gathered nine epochs
    over three months. Our spectroscopic analysis for each target includes the individual
    and peak-to-peak radial velocity measurements, an investigation of the line profile
    variability, and a periodogram analysis to search for possible short- and long-period
    binaries.\r\n\r\nResults. By applying a 20 km s−1 threshold on the peak-to-peak
    radial velocities above which we would consider the star to be binary, the resulting
    observed spectroscopic binary fraction for our BSG sample is 23 ± 3%. An independent
    analysis of line profile variability reveals 11 (plus 5 candidates) double-lined
    spectroscopic binaries and 32 (plus 41 candidates) single-lined spectroscopic
    binaries. Based on these results, we estimated the overall observed binary fraction
    in this sample to be 34 ± 3%, which is close to the computed intrinsic binary
    fraction of 40 ± 4%. In addition, we derived reliable orbital periods for 41 spectroscopic
    binaries and potential binary candidates, among which there are 17 eclipsing binaries,
    including 20 SB1 and SB2 systems with periods of less than 10 days. We reported
    a significant drop in the binary fraction of BSGs with spectral types later than
    B2 and effective temperatures less than 18 kK, which could indicate the end of
    the main sequence phase in this temperature regime. We found no metallicity dependence
    in the binary fraction of BSGs, compared to existing spectroscopic surveys of
    the Galaxy and Large Magellanic Cloud."

  text: 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 Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) campaign in the Small Magellanic
    Cloud, we present a multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of 128 supergiant stars of
    spectral type B5–F5, which roughly correspond to initial masses in the 6–30 M⊙
    range. The observed binary fraction for the B5–9 supergiants is 25 ± 6% (10 ±
    4%) and 5 ± 2% (0%) for the A–F stars, which were found using a radial-velocity
    (RV) variability threshold of 5 km s−1 (10 km s−1) as a criterion for binarity.
    Accounting for observational biases, we find an intrinsic multiplicity fraction
    of less than 18% for the B5–9 stars and 8−7+9% for the AF stars, for the orbital
    periods up to 103.5 days and mass ratios (q) in the 0.1 < q < 1 range. The large
    stellar radii of these supergiant stars prevent short orbital periods, but we
    demonstrate that this effect alone cannot explain our results. We assessed the
    spectra and RV time series of the detected binary systems and find that only a
    small fraction display convincing solutions. We conclude that the multiplicity
    fractions are compromised by intrinsic stellar variability, such that the true
    multiplicity fraction may be significantly smaller. Our main conclusions from
    comparing the multiplicity properties of the B5–9- and AF-type supergiants to
    that of their less evolved counterparts is that such stars cannot be explained
    by a direct evolution from the main sequence. Furthermore, by comparing their
    multiplicity properties to red supergiant stars, we conclude that the AF supergiant
    stars are neither progenitors nor descendants of red supergiants.

  text: "At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close
    stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction
    processes, which heavily impact the characteristics of their life-ending supernova
    and compact remnants. For the low-metallicity environments of high-redshift galaxies,
    constraints on the multiplicity properties of massive stars over the separation
    range leading to binary interaction are crucially missing. Here we show that the
    presence of massive stars in close binaries is ubiquitous, even at low metallicity.
    Using the Very Large Telescope, we obtained multi-epoch radial velocity measurements
    of a representative sample of 139 massive O-type stars across the Small Magellanic
    Cloud, which has a metal content of about one-fifth of the solar value. We find
    that 45% of them show radial velocity variations that demonstrate that they are
    members of close binary systems, and predominantly have orbital periods shorter
    than 1 year. Correcting for observational biases indicates that at least 70+11−6
    %  of the O stars in our sample are in close binaries, and that at least 68+7\r\n−8%
    of all O stars interact with a companion star during their lifetime. We found
    no evidence supporting a statistically significant trend of the multiplicity properties
    with metallicity. Our results indicate that multiplicity and binary interactions
    govern the evolution of massive stars and determine their cosmic feedback and
    explosive fates."

  text: Although planets have been found orbiting binary systems, whether they can
    survive binary interactions is debated. While the tightest-orbit binaries should
    host the most dynamically stable and long-lived circumbinary planetary systems,
    they are also the systems that are expected to experience mass transfer, common
    envelope evolution, or stellar mergers. In this study, we explore the effect of
    stable non-conservative mass transfer on the dynamical evolution of circumbinary
    planets. We present a new script that seamlessly integrates binary evolution data
    from the 1D binary stellar evolution code MESA into the N-body simulation code
    REBOUND. This integration framework enables a comprehensive examination of the
    dynamical evolution of circumbinary planets orbiting mass-transferring binaries,
    while simultaneously accounting for the detailed stellar structure evolution.
    In addition, we introduce a recalibration method to mitigate numerical errors
    from updates of binary properties during the system's dynamical evolution. We
    construct a reference binary model in which a 2.21M⊙ star loses its hydrogen-rich
    envelope through non-conservative mass transfer to the 1.76M⊙ companion star,
    creating a 0.38M⊙ subdwarf. We find the tightest stable orbital separation for
    circumbinary planets to be ≃2.5 times the binary separation after mass transfer.
    Accounting for tides by using the interior stellar structure, we find that tidal
    effects become apparent after the rapid mass transfer phase and start to fade
    away during the latter stage of the slow mass transfer phase. Our research provides
    a new framework for exploring circumbinary planet dynamics in interacting binary
    systems.

  text: "Context. 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. However, to constrain the interaction physics spinning
    up the OBe stars, a large sample of homogeneously analyzed OBe stars with well-determined
    binary characteristics and orbital parameters are required.\r\n\r\nAims. We investigated
    the multiplicity properties of a sample of 18 Oe, 62 Be, and two Of?p stars observed
    within the BLOeM survey in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We analyzed the first nine
    epochs of spectroscopic observations obtained over approximately three months
    in 2023.\r\n\r\nMethods. Radial velocities (RVs) of all stars were measured using
    cross-correlation based on different sets of absorption and emission lines. Applying
    commonly used binarity criteria, we classified objects as binaries, binary candidates,
    and apparently single (RV stable) objects. We further inspected the spectra for
    double-lined spectroscopic binaries and cross-matched with catalogs of X-ray sources
    and photometric binaries.\r\n\r\nResults. We classify 14 OBe stars as binaries,
    and an additional 11 as binary candidates. The two Of?p stars are apparently single.
    We find two more objects that are most likely currently interacting binaries.
    Without those, the observed binary fraction for the remaining OBe sample of 78
    stars is fobs+candOBe = 0.18 ± 0.04 (fobs+candOBe = 0.32±0.05 including candidates).
    This binary fraction is less than half of that measured for OB stars in BLOeM.
    Combined with the lower fraction of SB2s, this suggests that OBe stars do indeed
    have fundamentally different present-day binary properties than OB stars. We find
    no evidence for OBe binaries with massive compact companions, in contrast to expectations
    from binary population synthesis.\r\n\r\nConclusions. Our results support the
    binary scenario as an important formation channel for OBe stars, as post-interaction
    binaries may have been disrupted or the stripped companions of OBe stars are harder
    to detect. Further observations are required to characterize the detected binaries,
    their orbital parameters, and the nature of their companions."

  text: Observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) show signs of nitrogen enrichment
    reminiscent of other astrophysical sources such as active galactic nuclei and
    star-forming galaxies. Given that TDEs probe the gas from a single star, it is
    possible to test whether the observed enrichment is consistent with expectations
    from the CNO cycle by looking at the observed nitrogen/carbon (N/C) abundance
    ratios. Given that ≈20% of solar-mass stars (and an even larger fraction of more
    massive stars) live in close binaries, it is worthwhile to also consider what
    TDEs from stars influenced by binary evolution would look like. We show here that
    TDEs from stars stripped of their hydrogen-rich (and nitrogen-poor) envelopes
    through previous binary-induced mass loss can produce much higher observable N/C
    enhancements than even TDEs from massive stars. Additionally, we predict that
    the time dependence of the N/C abundance ratio in the mass fallback rate of stripped
    stars will follow the inverse behavior of main-sequence stars, enabling a more
    accurate characterization of the disrupted star.

  text: 'Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud have revealed that the
    majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However,
    knowledge of the binary properties of massive stars at low metallicity, and therefore
    in conditions approaching those of the Early Universe, remain sparse. We present
    the Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) campaign, an ESO large programme designed
    to obtain 25 epochs of spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic
    Cloud, allowing us to probe multiplicity in the lowest-metallicity conditions
    to date (Z = 0.2 Z⊙). BLOeM will provide (i) the binary fraction, (ii) the orbital
    configurations of systems with periods of P ≲ 3 yr, (iii) dormant black-hole binary
    candidates (OB+BH), and (iv) a legacy database of physical parameters of massive
    stars at low metallicity. Main sequence (OB-type) and evolved (OBAF-type) massive
    stars are observed with the LR02 setup of the GIRAFFE instrument of the Very Large
    Telescope (3960–4570 Å resolving power R = 6200; typical signal-to-noise ratio(S/N)
    ≈70–100). This paper utilises the first nine epochs obtained over a three-month
    time period. We describe the survey and data reduction, perform a spectral classification
    of the stacked spectra, and construct a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of the sample
    via spectral-type and photometric calibrations. Our detailed classification reveals
    that the sample covers spectral types from O4 to F5, spanning the effective temperature
    and luminosity ranges 6.5 ≲ Teff/kK ≲ 45 and 3.7 < log L/L⊙ < 6.1 and initial
    masses of 8 ≲ Mini ≲ 80 M⊙. The sample comprises 159 O-type stars, 331 early B-type
    (B0–3) dwarfs and giants (luminosity classes V–III), 303 early B-type supergiants
    (II–I), and 136 late-type BAF supergiants. At least 82 stars are OBe stars: 20
    O-type and 62 B-type (13% and 11% of the respective samples). In addition, the
    sample includes 4 high-mass X-ray binaries, 3 stars resembling luminous blue variables,
    2 bloated stripped-star candidates, 2 candidate magnetic stars, and 74 eclipsing
    binaries.'

  text: Recent works have constrained the binary fraction of evolved populations of
    massive stars in local galaxies such as red supergiants and Wolf–Rayet stars,
    but the binary fraction of yellow supergiants (YSGs) in the Hertzsprung gap remains
    unconstrained. Binary evolution theory predicts that the Hertzsprung gap is home
    to multiple populations of binary systems with varied evolutionary histories.
    In this paper, we develop a method to distinguish single YSGs from YSG plus O-
    or B-type main-sequence binaries using optical and ultraviolet photometry, and
    then apply this method to identify candidate YSG binaries in the Magellanic Clouds.
    After constructing a set of combined stellar atmosphere models, we find that optical
    photometry is, given typical measurement and reddening uncertainties, sufficient
    to discern single YSGs from YSG+OB binaries if the OB-star is at least ∼5M⊙ for
    Teff,YSG ∼ 4000 K, but requires a ∼20M⊙ OB star for YSGs up to Teff,YSG ∼ 9000
    K. For these hotter YSG temperatures, ultraviolet photometry allows binaries with
    OB companions as small as ∼7M⊙ to be identified. We use color–color spaces developed
    from these models to search for evidence of excess blue or ultraviolet light in
    a set of ∼1000 YSG candidates in the Magellanic Clouds. We identify hundreds of
    candidate YSG binary systems and report a preliminary fraction of YSGs that show
    a blue/UV color excess of 20%–60%. Spectroscopic follow-up is now required to
    confirm the true nature of this population.

  text: Stars strongly impact their environment, and shape structures on all scales
    throughout the universe, in a process known as "feedback." Due to the complexity
    of both stellar evolution and the physics of larger astrophysical structures,
    there remain many unanswered questions about how feedback operates and what we
    can learn about stars by studying their imprint on the wider universe. In this
    white paper, we summarize discussions from the Lorentz Center meeting "Bringing
    Stellar Evolution and Feedback Together" in 2022 April and identify key areas
    where further dialog can bring about radical changes in how we view the relationship
    between stars and the universe they live in.

  text: In previous work, we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable
    stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify
    them as either Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻOs; red supergiants with a neutron star
    cores) or super-asymptotic giant branch (sAGB) stars (the most massive stars that
    will not undergo core collapse). This population includes HV 2112, a peculiar
    star previously considered in other works to be either a TŻO or high-mass asymptotic
    giant branch (AGB) star. Here we continue this investigation, using the kinematic
    and radio environments and local star formation history of these stars to place
    constraints on the age of the progenitor systems and the presence of past supernovae.
    These stars are not associated with regions of recent star formation, and we find
    no evidence of past supernovae at their locations. Finally, we also assess the
    presence of heavy elements and lithium in their spectra compared to red supergiants.
    We find strong absorption in Li and s-process elements compared to RSGs in most
    of the sample, consistent with sAGB nucleosynthesis, while HV 2112 shows additional
    strong lines associated with TŻO nucleosynthesis. Coupled with our previous mass
    estimates, the results are consistent with the stars being massive (∼4–6.5 M⊙)
    or sAGB (∼6.5–12 M⊙) stars in the thermally pulsing phase, providing crucial observations
    of the transition between low- and high-mass stellar populations. HV 2112 is more
    ambiguous; it could either be a maximally massive sAGB star, or a TŻO if the minimum
    mass for stability extends down to ≲13 M⊙.

  text: Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray
    bursts, and gravitational wave events involving spectacular black hole mergers
    indicate that the low-metallicity Universe is fundamentally different from our
    own Galaxy. Many transient phenomena will remain enigmatic until we achieve a
    firm understanding of the physics and evolution of massive stars at low metallicity
    (Z). The Hubble Space Telescope has devoted 500 orbits to observing ∼250 massive
    stars at low Z in the ultraviolet (UV) with the COS and STIS spectrographs under
    the ULLYSES programme. The complementary X-Shooting ULLYSES (XShootU) project
    provides an enhanced legacy value with high-quality optical and near-infrared
    spectra obtained with the wide-wavelength coverage X-shooter spectrograph at ESO’s
    Very Large Telescope. We present an overview of the XShootU project, showing that
    combining ULLYSES UV and XShootU optical spectra is critical for the uniform determination
    of stellar parameters such as effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity,
    and abundances, as well as wind properties such as mass-loss rates as a function
    of Z. As uncertainties in stellar and wind parameters percolate into many adjacent
    areas of astrophysics, the data and modelling of the XShootU project is expected
    to be a game changer for our physical understanding of massive stars at low Z.
    To be able to confidently interpret James Webb Space Telescope spectra of the
    first stellar generations, the individual spectra of low-Z stars need to be understood,
    which is exactly where XShootU can deliver.

  text: 'Thorne–Żytkow objects (TŻO) are potential end products of the merger of a
    neutron star with a non-degenerate star. In this work, we have computed the first
    grid of evolutionary models of TŻOs with the MESA stellar evolution code. With
    these models, we predict several observational properties of TŻOs, including their
    surface temperatures and luminosities, pulsation periods, and nucleosynthetic
    products. We expand the range of possible TŻO solutions to cover 3.45≲log(Teff/K)≲3.65
    and 4.85≲log(L/L⊙)≲5.5⁠. Due to the much higher densities our TŻOs reach compared
    to previous models, if TŻOs form we expect them to be stable over a larger mass
    range than previously predicted, without exhibiting a gap in their mass distribution.
    Using the GYRE stellar pulsation code we show that TŻOs should have fundamental
    pulsation periods of 1000–2000 d, and period ratios of ≈0.2–0.3. Models computed
    with a large 399 isotope fully coupled nuclear network show a nucleosynthetic
    signal that is different to previously predicted. We propose a new nucleosynthetic
    signal to determine a star’s status as a TŻO: the isotopologues 44TiO2 and 44TiO⁠,
    which will have a shift in their spectral features as compared to stable titanium-containing
    molecules. We find that in the local Universe (∼SMC metallicities and above) TŻOs
    show little heavy metal enrichment, potentially explaining the difficulty in finding
    TŻOs to-date.'

  text: The hydrogen-rich outer layers of massive stars can be removed by interactions
    with a binary companion. Theoretical models predict that this stripping produces
    a population of hot helium stars of ~2 to 8 solar masses (M☉), however, only one
    such system has been identified thus far. We used ultraviolet photometry to identify
    potential stripped helium stars then investigated 25 of them using optical spectroscopy.
    We identified stars with high temperatures (~60,000 to 100,000 kelvin), high surface
    gravities, and hydrogen-depleted surfaces; 16 stars also showed binary motion.
    These properties match expectations for stars with initial masses of 8 to 25 M☉
    that were stripped by binary interaction. Their masses fall in the gap between
    subdwarf helium stars and Wolf-Rayet stars. We propose that these stars could
    be progenitors of stripped-envelope supernovae.

  text: 'We characterize massive stars (M > 8 M⊙) in the nearby (D ∼ 0.8 Mpc) extremely
    metal-poor (Z ∼ 5% Z⊙) galaxy Leo A using Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV),
    optical, and near-infrared (NIR) imaging along with Keck/Low-Resolution Imaging
    Spectrograph and MMT/Binospec optical spectroscopy for 18 main-sequence OB stars.
    We find that: (a) 12 of our 18 stars show emission lines, despite not being associated
    with an H ii region, suggestive of stellar activity (e.g., mass loss, accretion,
    binary star interaction), which is consistent with previous predictions of enhanced
    activity at low metallicity; (b) six are Be stars, which are the first to be spectroscopically
    studied at such low metallicity—these Be stars have unusual panchromatic SEDs;
    (c) for stars well fit by the TLUSTY nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium models,

    and $\mathrm{log}(g)$ agree to within ∼0.01 dex and ∼0.18 dex, respectively, indicating
    that near-UV/optical/NIR imaging can be used to reliably characterize massive
    (M ∼ 8–30 M⊙) main-sequence star properties relative to optical spectroscopy;
    (d) the properties of the most-massive stars in H II regions are consistent with
    constraints from previous nebular emission line studies; and (e) 13 stars with
    M > 8M⊙ are >40 pc from a known star cluster or H II region. Our sample comprises
    ∼50% of all known massive stars at Z ≲ 10% Z⊙with derived stellar parameters,
    high-quality optical spectra, and panchromatic photometry.'

  text: Magnetic fields can drastically change predictions of evolutionary models
    of massive stars via mass-loss quenching, magnetic braking, and efficient angular
    momentum transport, which we aim to quantify in this work. We use the MESA software
    instrument to compute an extensive main-sequence grid of stellar structure and
    evolution models, as well as isochrones, accounting for the effects attributed
    to a surface fossil magnetic field. The grid is densely populated in initial mass
    (3–60 M⊙), surface equatorial magnetic field strength (0–50 kG), and metallicity
    (representative of the Solar neighbourhood and the Magellanic Clouds). We use
    two magnetic braking and two chemical mixing schemes and compare the model predictions
    for slowly rotating, nitrogen-enriched (‘Group 2’) stars with observations in
    the Large Magellanic Cloud. We quantify a range of initial field strengths that
    allow for producing Group 2 stars and find that typical values (up to a few kG)
    lead to solutions. Between the subgrids, we find notable departures in surface
    abundances and evolutionary paths. In our magnetic models, chemical mixing is
    always less efficient compared to non-magnetic models due to the rapid spin-down.
    We identify that quasi-chemically homogeneous main sequence evolution by efficient
    mixing could be prevented by fossil magnetic fields. We recommend comparing this
    grid of evolutionary models with spectropolarimetric and spectroscopic observations
    with the goals of (i) revisiting the derived stellar parameters of known magnetic
    stars, and (ii) observationally constraining the uncertain magnetic braking and
    chemical mixing schemes.

  text: Magnetism can greatly impact the evolution of stars. In some stars with OBA
    spectral types there is direct evidence via the Zeeman effect for stable, large-scale
    magnetospheres, which lead to the spin-down of the stellar surface and reduced
    mass loss. So far, a comprehensive grid of stellar structure and evolution models
    accounting for these effects was lacking. For this reason, we computed and studied
    models with two magnetic braking and two chemical mixing schemes in three metallicity
    environments with the MESA software instrument. We find notable differences between
    the subgrids, which affects the model predictions and thus the detailed characterisation
    of stars. We are able to quantify the impact of magnetic fields in terms of preventing
    quasi-chemically homogeneous evolution and producing slowly-rotating, nitrogen-enriched
    ("Group 2") stars. Our model grid is fully open access and open source.

  text: Most massive stars are born in binaries close enough for mass transfer episodes.
    These modify the appearance, structure, and future evolution of both stars. We
    compute the evolution of a 100-day-period binary, consisting initially of a 25
    M⊙ star and a 17 M⊙ star, which experiences stable mass transfer. We focus on
    the impact of mass accretion on the surface composition, internal rotation, and
    structure of the accretor. To anchor our models, we show that our accretor broadly
    reproduces the properties of ζ Ophiuchi, which has long been proposed to have
    accreted mass before being ejected as a runaway star when the companion exploded.
    We compare our accretor to models of single rotating stars and find that the later
    and stronger spin-up provided by mass accretion produces significant differences.
    Specifically, the core of the accretor retains higher spin at the end of the main
    sequence, and a convective layer develops that changes its density profile. Moreover,
    the surface of the accretor star is polluted by CNO-processed material donated
    by the companion. Our models show effects of mass accretion in binaries that are
    not captured in single rotating stellar models. This possibly impacts the further
    evolution (either in a binary or as single stars), the final collapse, and the
    resulting spin of the compact object.
