Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope
Caty Pilachowski, Carles Badenes, Stephen Bailey +87
This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
The Discovery of a Rare WO-type Wolf-Rayet Star in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Kathryn F. Neugent, Philip Massey, Nidia Morrell
While observing OB stars within the most crowded regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud, we happened upon a new Wolf-Rayet star in Lucke-Hodge 41, the rich OB association that conta…
The Wolf-Rayet Content of M31
Kathryn F. Neugent, Philip Massey, Cyril Georgy
Wolf-Rayet stars are evolved massive stars, and the relative number of WC-type and WN-type WRs should vary with the metallicity of the host galaxy, providing a sensitive test of st…
Oxygen-rich dust production in IC 10
V. Lebouteiller, G. C. Sloan, M. A. T. Groenewegen +6
We report the detection of oxygen-rich circumstellar envelopes in stars of the nearby (700 kpc) starburst galaxy IC 10. The star formation history and the chemical environment of t…
Nitrogen line spectroscopy in O-stars -- III. The earliest O-stars
J. G. Rivero Gonzalez, J. Puls, P. Massey +1
This is the third paper in a series aiming at the analysis of nitrogen abundances in O-type stars, to enable further constraints on the early evolution of massive stars. We provide…
Grids of stellar models with rotation II. WR populations and supernovae/GRB progenitors at Z = 0.014
Cyril Georgy, Sylvia Ekström, Georges Meynet +5
We used a recent grid of stellar models computed with and without rotation to make predictions concerning the WR populations and the frequency of different types of core-collapse S…
