How Massive Single Stars End their Life

A. Heger, C. L. Fryer, S. E. Woosley +2

How massive stars die -- what sort of explosion and remnant each produces -- depends chiefly on the masses of their helium cores and hydrogen envelopes at death. For single stars,…

Motions of Isolated G-Band Bright Points in the Solar Photosphere

P. Nisenson, A. A. van Ballegooijen, A. G. de Wijn +1

Magnetic elements on the quiet sun are buffeted by convective flows that cause lateral motions on timescales of minutes. The magnetic elements can be observed as bright points (BPs…

The Missing Link in Star Cluster Evolution

Richard de Grijs, Nate Bastian, Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers

The currently most popular models for the dynamical evolution of star clusters predict that the power-law Cluster Luminosity Functions (CLFs) of young star cluster systems will be…

Photospheric radius expansion X-ray bursts as standard candles

E. Kuulkers, P. R. den Hartog, J. J. M. in 't Zand +3

We examined the maximum bolometric peak luminosities during type I X-ray bursts from the persistent or transient luminous X-ray sources in globular clusters. We show that for about…

Selection of Metal-poor Giant Stars Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System

A. Helmi, Z. Ivezic, F. Prada +10

We present a method for photometric selection of metal-poor halo giants from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These stars are offset from the stellar locus…

Star Cluster Formation and Disruption Time-Scales - II. Evolution of the Star Cluster System in M82's Fossil Starburst

Richard de Grijs, Nate Bastian, Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers

ABRIDGED: We obtain new age and mass estimates for the star clusters in M82's fossil starburst region B, based on improved fitting methods. Our new age estimates confirm the peak i…
