Echoes of the First Stars: Massive Star Evolution in Extremely Metal-Poor Environments with the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Peter Senchyna, Calum Hawcroft, Miriam Garcia +3

A remarkable span of frontier astrophysics, from gravitational-wave archaeology to the origin of the elements to interpreting snapshots of the earliest galaxies, depends sensitivel…

Mass loading of outflows from evolving Young Massive Clusters

C. J. K. Larkin, C. Hawcroft, J. Mackey +3

Feedback from Young Massive Clusters (YMCs) is an important driver of galaxy evolution. In the first few Myr, mechanical feedback is dominated by collective effects of the massive…

A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

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

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

pySTARBURST99: The Next Generation of STARBURST99

Calum Hawcroft, Claus Leitherer, Oskar Arangure +8

STARBURST99 is a population synthesis code tailored to predict the integrated properties or observational characteristics of star-forming galaxies. Here we present an update to STA…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23

Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: XI. Pipeline-determined Physical Properties of Magellanic Cloud OB Stars

J. M. Bestenlehner, P. A. Crowther, C. Hawcroft +5

The proximity & low dust extinction of the Magellanic Clouds provides an ideal environment for metal-poor massive stars to be studied in detail. The HST ULLYSES initiative has prov…
