Binary population synthesis predicts several thousand intermediate-mass helium stars in the Milky Way, mostly in binaries, with metallicity and common-envelope ejection efficiency as the dominant shaping factors.
Simulations overpredict hot subdwarf and RR Lyrae binaries with Gaia astrometric solutions but match red clump stars with high mass functions as potential black hole impostors, implying fewer au-scale RR Lyrae binaries than expected.
A homogeneous search of TESS Cycle 7 20-second cadence light curves identifies 73 rapid oscillators (24 white dwarfs, 31 hot subdwarfs, 18 A-F stars) with measured frequencies and amplitudes after vetting.
