Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD
The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final
fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characterization of …

Potential kick velocity distribution of black hole X-ray binaries and implications for natal kicks
We use very long baseline interferometry to measure the proper motions of three black hole
X-ray binaries (BHXBs). Using these results together with data from the literature and Gaia …
