The MiMeS Project: First Results

J. H. Grunhut, E. Alecian, D. A. Bohlender +11

Massive stars are those stars with initial masses above about 8 times that of the sun, eventually leading to catastrophic explosions in the form of supernovae. These represent the…

Properties of WNh stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud: evidence for homogeneous evolution

F. Martins, D. J. Hillier, J. C. Bouret +4

We derive the physical properties of three WNh stars in the SMC to constrain stellar evolution beyond the main sequence at low metallicity and to investigate the metallicity depend…

Spectroscopic analysis of DA white dwarfs from the McCook & Sion catalog

A. Gianninas, P. Bergeron, M. T. Ruiz

For some years now, we have been gathering optical spectra of DA white dwarfs in an effort to study and define the empirical ZZ Ceti instability strip. However, we have recently ex…
