Detection of 17.26-day eclipses in KQ Puppis reveals it as a hierarchical triple with dynamical masses of ~10 M⊙ for the RSG and ~14 M⊙ for the inner pair, plus the first orbital parallax for any red supergiant.

Hidden massive eclipsing binaries in red supergiant systems: The hierarchical triple system KQ Puppis and other candidates
Detection of 17.26-day eclipses in KQ Puppis reveals it as a hierarchical triple with dynamical masses of ~10 M⊙ for the RSG and ~14 M⊙ for the inner pair, plus the first orbital parallax for any red supergiant.
