Discovery of the missing intermediate-mass helium stars stripped in binaries
Maria R. Drout,Y. Gotberg,Bethany Ann Ludwig,Jose H. Groh,S. E. de Mink,Anna O'Grady,Nathan Smith +6 more
TL;DR: The theory of binary evolution predicts that many massive stars should lose their hydrogen-rich envelopes via interaction with a companion, revealing hot helium stars with masses of $2-8M${$\odot} as discussed by the authors .

The Massive Contact Binary RY Scuti: A WR+OB Progenitor and Its Compact Nebula
Nathan Smith,Robert D. Gehrz +1 more
TL;DR: RY Scuti is a massive contact binary in a critical Roche-lobe overflow phase, and it may be an immediate progenitor of a WR+OB binary system like V444 Cygni as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeating periodic eruptions of the supernova impostor SN 2000ch
Mojgan Aghakhanloo,Nathan Smith,Peter Milne,Jennifer E. Andrews,Alexei V. Filippenko,Jacob E. Jencson,David J. Sand,S. D. Van Dyk,S. Wyatt,Wei Zheng +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , photometric observations of the supernova impostor SN2000ch in NGC 3432 covering the time since its discovery were analyzed, revealing at least three additional outbursts in 2004-2007, and sixteen outburstings in 2010-2022.
