Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38
The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…
Spin-down and reduced mass loss in early-type stars with large-scale magnetic fields
Z. Keszthelyi, A. de Koter, Y. Götberg +12
Magnetism can greatly impact the evolution of stars. In some stars with OBA spectral types there is direct evidence via the Zeeman effect for stable, large-scale magnetospheres, wh…
Spectroscopic determination of the fundamental parameters of 66 B-type stars in the field-of-view of the CoRoT satellite
K. Lefever, J. Puls, T. Morel +3
We aim to determine the fundamental parameters of a sample of B stars with apparent visual magnitudes below 8 in the field-of-view of the CoRoT space mission, from high-resolution…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XIX. B-type Supergiants - Atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances to investigate the role of binarity and the width of the main sequence
C. M. McEvoy, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +19
TLUSTY non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine atmospheric parameters and nitrogen (N) abundances for 34 single and 18 binary B-type supergiants (BSGs). T…
New predictions for radiation-driven, steady-state mass-loss and wind-momentum from hot, massive stars III. Updated mass-loss rates for stellar evolution
R. Björklund, J. O. Sundqvist, S. M. Singh +2
Massive stars lose a large fraction of their mass to radiation-driven winds throughout their entire life. These outflows impact both the life and death of these stars and their sur…
Statistical properties of a sample of periodically variable B-type supergiants - Evidence for opacity-driven gravity-mode oscillations
K. Lefever, J. Puls, C. Aerts
We have studied a sample of 28 periodically variable B-type supergiants selected from the HIPPARCOS mission and 12 comparison stars covering the whole B-type spectral range. Our go…
