On determining the mass-loss rates of red giants and red supergiants based on infrared data
Jacco Th. van Loon
I review existing methods for determining mass-loss rates of red giants and red supergiants based on infrared data. The simplest method is based on models for the absorption and em…
Pre-supernova mass loss predictions for massive stars
Jorick S. Vink, Alex de Koter, Rubina Kotak
Massive stars and supernovae (SNe) have a huge impact on their environment. Despite their importance, a comprehensive knowledge of which massive stars produce which SNe is hitherto…
The Keele-Exeter young cluster survey: I. Low mass pre-main sequence stars in NGC 2169
R. D Jeffries, J. M. Oliveira, Tim Naylor +2
We have used R_C I_C CCD photometry from the Isaac Newton telescope and intermediate resolution spectroscopy from the Gemini North telescope to identify and characterise low-mass (…
Spitzer spectroscopy of carbon stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Eric Lagadec, Albert A. Zijlstra, G. C. Sloan +12
We present Spitzer Space telescope spectroscopic observations of 14 carbon-rich AGB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. SiC dust is seen in most of the carbon-rich stars but it is…
Luminous Blue Variables as the progenitors of supernovae with quasi-periodic radio modulations
Rubina Kotak, Jorick S. Vink
The interaction between supernova ejecta and circumstellar matter, arising from previous episodes of mass loss, provides us with a means with which to constrain the progenitors of…
A Polarimetric Study of the B[e] star HD 45677
M. Patel, R. D. Oudmaijer, J. Vink +2
We present new medium-resolution spectropolarimetric observations of HD 45677 in the B and R-bands. A change in polarisation is detected across Halpha, Hbeta and Hgamma confirming…
