Photometric Classifications of Evolved Massive Stars: Preparing for the Era of Webb and Roman with Machine Learning

Trevor Z. Dorn-Wallenstein, James R. A. Davenport, Daniela Huppenkothen +1

In the coming years, next-generation space-based infrared observatories will significantly increase our samples of rare massive stars, representing a tremendous opportunity to leve…

Short Term Variability of Evolved Massive Stars with TESS II: A New Class of Cool, Pulsating Supergiants

Trevor Z. Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily M. Levesque, Kathryn F. Neugent +3

Massive stars briefly pass through the yellow supergiant (YSG) phase as they evolve redward across the HR diagram and expand into red supergiants (RSGs). Higher-mass stars pass thr…

13 Years of P Cygni Spectropolarimetry: Investigating Mass-loss Through H, Periodicity, and Ellipticity

Keyan Gootkin, Trevor Dorn-Wallenstein, Jamie R. Lomax +7

We report on over 13 years of optical and near-ultraviolet spectropolarimetric observations of the famous Luminous Blue Variable (LBV), P Cygni. LBVs are a critical transitional ph…

A Comparison of Rotating and Binary Stellar Evolution Models: Effects on Massive Star Populations

Trevor Z. Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily M. Levesque

Both rotation and interactions with binary companions can significantly affect massive star evolution, altering interior and surface abundances, mass loss rates and mechanisms, obs…

Short Term Variability of Evolved Massive Stars with TESS

Trevor Z. Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily M. Levesque, James R. A. Davenport

We present the first results from a study of TESS Sector 1 and 2 light curves for eight evolved massive stars in the LMC: six yellow supergiants (YSGs) and two luminous blue variab…

Stellar Population Diagnostics of the Massive Star Binary Fraction

Trevor Z. Dorn-Wallenstein, Emily M. Levesque

Populations of massive stars are directly reflective of the physics of stellar evolution. Counting subtypes of massive stars and ratios of massive stars in different evolutionary s…
