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…

JWST/MIRI detection of [Ne V], [Ne VI], and [O IV] wind emission in the O9V star 10 Lacertae

David R. Law, Calum Hawcroft, Linda J. Smith +5

We report the detection of broad, flat-topped emission in the fine-structure lines of [Ne V], [Ne VI], and [O IV] in mid-infrared spectra of the O9 V star 10 Lacertae obtained with…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity VII. Stellar and wind properties of B supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud

M. Bernini-Peron, A. A. C. Sander, V. Ramachandran +22

Context. B supergiants (BSGs) represent an important connection between the main sequence and more extreme evolutionary stages of massive stars. Additionally, lying toward the cool…

Empirical mass-loss rates and clumping properties of O-type stars in the LMC

C. Hawcroft, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6

We constrain wind parameters of a sample of 18 O-type stars in the LMC, through analysis with stellar atmosphere and wind models including the effects of optically thick clumping.…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

Spectroscopic characterisation of gravitationally lensed stars at high redshifts

Emma Lundqvist, Erik Zackrisson, Calum Hawcroft +2

Deep imaging of galaxy cluster fields have in recent years revealed tens of candidates for gravitationally lensed stars at redshifts 1-6, and future searches are expecte…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity II. DR1: Advanced optical data products for the Magellanic Clouds

H. Sana, F. Tramper, M. Abdul-Masih +34

Using the medium resolution spectrograph X-shooter, spectra of 235 OB and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in sub-solar metallicity environments have been secured. [...]This second paper focu…
