contents We report the first Dyson-Schwinger equation predictions for the leading-twist distribution amplitudes of the $B^*$, $B_s^*$, and $B_c^*$ mesons, and extend the investigation to a broader set of heavy-light pseudo-scalar/vector mesons. Numerical analysis shows that, in flavor-asymmetric systems, the distribution amplitude is skewed toward the heavier quark, with the position of the maximum $\sim M^f_E/(M^f_E+M^g_E)$, where $M_E$ is the Euclidean constituent quark mass and $f$, $g$ denote the quark flavors. Spin effects are found to be subleading compared to the influence of valence-quark composition, and lead to heavier quarks carrying more light-front momentum in vector mesons than in their pseudo-scalar counterparts. Our results can be compared with both experimental and theoretical outcomes in the future.
