The 12C + 12C reaction and the impact on nucleosynthesis in massive stars
M. Pignatari, R. Hirschi, M. Wiescher +7
Despite much effort in the past decades, the C-burning reaction rate is uncertain by several orders of magnitude, and the relative strength between the different channels 12C(12C,a…
Period and period change measurements for 143 SuperWASP eclipsing binary candidates near the short-period limit and discovery of a doubly eclipsing quadruple system
M. E. Lohr, A. J. Norton, U. C. Kolb +3
Building on previous work, a new search of the SuperWASP archive was carried out to identify eclipsing binary systems near the short-period limit. 143 candidate objects were detect…
MOA-2010-BLG-523: "Failed Planet" = RS CVn Star
A. Gould, J. C. Yee, I. A. Bond +116
The Galactic bulge source MOA-2010-BLG-523S exhibited short-term deviations from a standard microlensing lightcurve near the peak of an Amax ~ 265 high-magnification microlensing e…
Accurate spectroscopic parameters of WASP planet host stars
Amanda P. Doyle, B. Smalley, P. F. L. Maxted +8
We have made a detailed spectral analysis of eleven Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) planet host stars using high signal-to-noise (S/N) HARPS spectra. Our line list was careful…
Very Massive Stars and the Eddington Limit
Paul A. Crowther, R. Hirschi, Nolan R. Walborn +1
We use contemporary evolutionary models for Very Massive Stars (VMS) to assess whether the Eddington limit constrains the upper stellar mass limit. We also consider the interplay b…
Mass-loss predictions for evolved very metal-poor massive stars
Lianne Muijres, Jorick S. Vink, A. de Koter +3
(shortened) The first couple of stellar generations may have been massive, of order 100 Msun, and to have played a dominant role in galaxy formation and the chemical enrichment of…
