  bibo_abstract:
  - 'Most massive stars (∼8–25M⊙) interact with a binary companion during their lifetimes.
    These interactions can remove the hydrogen-rich envelope, producing intermediate-mass
    (∼2–8M⊙) and helium-rich stars. These “stripped stars” are predicted to emit predominantly
    in the ultraviolet (UV) and can therefore be identified via a UV excess—provided
    they are not outshone by their companion. However, despite their importance to
    binary evolution, supernovae, and ionizing feedback, few stripped stars have been
    confirmed. This is likely due to the scarcity of wide-field, high angular-resolution,
    UV surveys of stellar populations with reliable distances and extinction estimates.
    To address this, we present the Stripped-Star Ultraviolet Magellanic Clouds Survey
    catalog. We use the Tractor forward modeling software to perform point-spread
    function photometry on 2420 Swift UVOT images of the LMC and SMC. The resulting
    catalog contains 734,862 sources in three UV filters to a depth of ∼20 Vega mag.
    We perform validation tests on the photometry pipeline and highlight the catalog’s
    broad applicability. We then identify sources with excess UV light compared to
    main-sequence stars and apply a series of quality cuts. From this, we identify
    522 candidate stripped stars in the LMC and 298 in the SMC. We assess the potential
    contamination from other UV excess systems and argue the dominant uncertainty
    to be dust: early main-sequence stars can mimic the colors of stripped-star binaries
    when extinction is overcorrected. This survey lays the groundwork for the first
    systematic census of stripped stars and opens new windows into binary evolution
    and massive star populations.@eng'
