First JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy of O Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Armin Mang Román, Peter Zeidler, Wolf-Rainer Hamann +10
Determining how much mass is removed by stellar winds is crucial to understanding massive star evolution and feedback. However, traditional spectroscopic diagnostics in the UV and…
Comprehensive UV and Optical spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1: Stellar and wind parameters, abundances, and evolutionary implications
V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander, L. M. Oskinova +7
We present a comprehensive analysis of Cyg X-1, utilizing archival high-resolution UV and optical spectra in conjunction with sophisticated atmospheric models. Notably, this is the…
New empirical mass-loss recipe for UV radiation line-driven winds of hot stars across various metallicities
D. Pauli, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +7
The winds of massive stars remove a significant fraction of their mass, strongly impacting their evolution. As a star evolves, the rate at which it loses mass changes. In stellar e…
Extremely iron-poor O-type stars in the Magellanic Bridge
E. C. Schösser, V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander +7
To study stars analogous to those in the early Universe with redshift z > 3, we need to probe environments with low metallicities. Until recently, massive O-type stars with metalli…
X-ray and radio data obtained by XMM-Newton and VLA constrain the stellar wind of the magnetic quasi-Wolf-Rayet star in HD45166
P. Leto, L. M. Oskinova, T. Shenar +9
Recently, a powerful magnetic field was discovered in the hot helium star classified as a quasi-Wolf-Rayet star of ~2Msun, member of the HD45166 system. Upon its explosion as a cor…
Determining stellar properties of massive stars in NGC346 in the SMC with a Bayesian statistic technique
M. J. Rickard, R. Hainich, D. Pauli +8
NGC 346 is a young cluster with numerous hot OB stars. It is part of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and has an average metallicity that is one-seventh of the Milky Way's. A deta…
