Spectral characteristics of fast rotating metal-poor massive stars
Brankica Kubátová, Dorottya Szécsi
Low-metallicity massive stars are assumed to be progenitors of certain supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational wave emitting mergers. These exotic phenomena contribute to t…
The twin red giant branch system BD+20 5391 A case study of low-mass double-core evolution
M. Kurpas, M. Dorsch, S. Geier +12
Understanding interactions of binary systems on the red giant branch is crucial to understanding the formation of compact stellar remnants such as helium-core white dwarfs (He-WDs)…
S-Process Nucleosynthesis in Chemically Peculiar Binaries
A. J. Dimoff, C. J. Hansen, R. J. Stancliffe +4
Around half of the heavy elements in the universe are formed through the slow neutron capture (s-) process, which takes place in thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) sta…
An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing
James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu +134
We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwav…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at Low Metallicity
Jorick S. Vink, Paul Crowther, Alex Fullerton +20
The Hubble Space Telescope has devoted 500 orbits to observing 250 massive stars with low metallicity in the ultraviolet (UV) range within the framework of the ULLYSES program. The…
Probing the inner Galactic Halo with blue horizontal branch stars: Gaia DR3 based catalogue with atmospheric and stellar parameters
Richard Culpan, Matti Dorsch, Stephan Geier +4
Context. Stars that are found on the blue horizontal-branch (BHB) have evolved from low-mass stars that have completed their core hydrogen burning main sequence stage and have unde…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description
Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78
Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…
An extensive spectroscopic time series of three Wolf-Rayet stars -- II. A search for wind asymmetries in the dust-forming WC7 binary WR137
N. St-Louis, C. Piaulet, N. D. Richardson +39
We present the results of a four-month, spectroscopic campaign of the Wolf-Rayet dust-making binary, WR137. We detect only small-amplitude, random variability in the CIII5696 emiss…
Moving inhomogeneous envelopes of stars
Lidia M. Oskinova, Brankica Kubatova, Wolf-Rainer Hamann
Massive stars are extremely luminous and drive strong winds, blowing a large part of their matter into the galactic environment before they finally explode as a supernova. Quantita…
Interplay between pulsations and mass loss in the blue supergiant 55 Cygnus = HD 198478
M. Kraus, M. Haucke, L. S. Cidale +14
Blue supergiant stars are known to display photometric and spectroscopic variability that is suggested to be linked to stellar pulsations. Pulsational activity in massive stars str…
