SpecFANN: Spectral Fitting via Artificial Neural Networks I. A deep learning based fastwind emulator and fitting suite
M. Abdul-Masih, C. Hawcroft, T. Lechien +14
The importance of massive stars cannot be overstated: they are powerful probes of the early universe, play a vital role in the chemical and mechanical evolution of their host envir…
Probing Thin Winds in Massive OB Stars of the SMC with JWST/NIRSPEC Br-alpha Spectroscopy
Miriam Garcia, Alexander W. Fullerton, Francisco Najarro +12
Mass loss is a key physical process in the evolution of massive stars, the impact of which propagates into galactic evolution, population synthesis models, the interpretation of hi…
Evolutionary models for the Very Massive Stars in the R136 cluster of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Z. Keszthelyi, S. A. Brands, A. de Koter +2
The cluster R136 in the LMC contains a population of stars in excess of 100 M, including R136a1, the most massive star known. Very Massive Stars (VMSs) play an influential…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23
Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…
