Investigating silicate, carbon, and water in the diffuse interstellar medium: the first shots from WISCI

S. T. Zeegers, Jonathan P. Marshall, Karl D. Gordon +33

The dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way is distributed in a complex, cloudy structure. It is fundamental to the radiation balance within the Milky Way, provides a reac…

The wind properties of O-type stars at sub-SMC metallicity

Ciarán Furey, O. Grace Telford, Alex de Koter +7

Radiation-driven winds heavily influence the evolution and fate of massive stars. Feedback processes from these winds impact the properties of the interstellar medium of their host…

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…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity VI. Atmosphere and mass-loss properties of O-type giants in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Frank Backs, S. A. Brands, A. de Koter +21

Mass loss through a stellar wind is an important physical process that steers the evolution of massive stars and controls the properties of their end-of-life products, such as the…

Massive stars on the verge of exploding: the properties of oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet stars

F. Tramper, S. M. Straal, D. Sanyal +7

Context. Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars represent a very rare stage in the evolution of massive stars. Their spectra show strong emission lines of helium-burning products, i…

The properties of ten O-type stars in the low-metallicity galaxies IC 1613, WLM and NGC 3109

F. Tramper, H. Sana, A. de Koter +2

Massive stars likely played an important role in the reionization of the Universe, and the formation of the first black holes. Massive stars in low-metallicity environments in the…
