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…
The effects of surface fossil magnetic fields on massive star evolution: IV. Grids of models at Solar, LMC, and SMC metallicities
Z. Keszthelyi, A. de Koter, Y. Götberg +12
Magnetic fields can drastically change predictions of evolutionary models of massive stars via mass-loss quenching, magnetic braking, and efficient angular momentum transport, whic…
Stellar mergers as the origin of the blue main-sequence band in young star clusters
Chen Wang, Norbert Langer, Abel Schootemeijer +10
Recent high-quality Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry shows that the main sequences (MS) stars of young star clusters form two discrete components in the color-magnitude diag…
Analytic, dust-independent mass-loss rates for red supergiant winds initiated by turbulent pressure
N. D. Kee, J. O. Sundqvist, L. Decin +2
Context. Red supergiants are observed to undergo vigorous mass-loss. However, to date, no theoretical model has succeeded in explaining the origins of these objects' winds. This st…
A dearth of young and bright massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Schootemeijer, N. Langer, D. Lennon +7
Massive star evolution at low metallicity is closely connected to many fields in high-redshift astrophysics, but poorly understood. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a unique lab…
Effect of binary evolution on the inferred initial and final core masses of hydrogen-rich, Type~II supernova progenitors
Emmanouil Zapartas, Selma E. de Mink, Stephen Justham +3
The majority of massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae (SNe), are found in close binary systems. Zapartas et al. (2019) modeled the fraction of hydrogen-rich, T…
