Bolometric correction for cosmologically redshifted stars with dust: an update to the YBC database

Yang Chen, Xiaoting Fu, Léo Girardi +2

Observations from HST & JWST continue to reveal gravitationally magnified high-redshift star candidates, resulting in increasing demand for accurate stellar bolometric corrections…

A homogeneous view of asymptotic giant branch carbon stars as seen by Gaia

Alessio Liberatori, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Konstantinos Antoniadis +12

Carbon stars on the asymptotic giant branch are major contributors to galactic dust enrichment, with gas mass-loss rates up to 1e-4 Msun/yr. We present a homogeneous spectral energ…

Enhanced Mass Loss of Very Massive Stars: Impact on the Evolution, Binary Processes, and Remnant Mass Spectrum

Kendall G. Shepherd, Guglielmo Costa, Cristiano Ugolini +7

Very massive stars (VMS) play a fundamental role in astrophysics due to their winds and supernovae (SN), and their role as massive black hole (BH) progenitors. However, their origi…

Discovery of a Weak CN Spectral Absorption Feature in Red Supergiant Stars in the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) Galaxies

Puragra Guhathakurta, Douglas Grion Filho, Antara R. Bhattacharya +14

Using Keck DEIMOS spectra of stars in the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) galaxies, selected from the large multi-band (near ultraviolet, visible light, and near infrared) Hub…

Calibration of the JAGB method for the Magellanic Clouds and Milky Way from Gaia DR3, considering the role of oxygen-rich AGB stars

Else Magnus, Martin Groenewegen, Leo Girardi +3

The JAGB method is a new way of measuring distances with use of AGB stars that are situated in a selected region in a J versus J-Ks CMD, using the fact that the absolute J magnitud…

AESOPUS 2.1: Low-Temperature Opacities Extended to High Pressure

Paola Marigo, Francesco Addari, Diego Bossini +5

We address the critical need for accurate Rosseland mean gas opacities in high-pressure environments, spanning temperatures from 100 K to 32000 K. Current opacity tables from Wichi…

AESOPUS 2.0: Low-Temperature Opacities with Solid Grains

P. Marigo, P. Woitke, E. Tognelli +3

In this study we compute the equation of state and Rosseland mean opacity from temperatures of T~30000 K down to T~400 K, pushing the capabilities of the AESOPUS code (Marigo et al…

The VMC Survey -- XXXVII. Pulsation periods of dust enshrouded AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds

M. A. T. Groenewegen, A. Nanni, M. -R. L. Cioni +9

(abridged)Variability is a key property of stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Their pulsation period is related to the luminosity and mass-loss rate of the star. The long-…

The VMC Survey - XXXIII. The tip of the red giant branch in the Magellanic Clouds

M. A. T. Groenewegen, M. -R. L. Cioni, L. Girardi +6

In this paper JK_s data from the VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC) survey are used to investigate the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) as a distance indicator. A linear fit to recent…

Connecting the evolution of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars to the chemistry in their circumstellar envelopes -- I. The case of hydrogen cyanide

Paola Marigo, Emanuele Ripamonti, Ambra Nanni +2

We investigate the formation of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the inner circumstellar envelopes of thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) stars. A dynamic model for periodi…

Scaled solar tracks and isochrones in a large region of the Z-Y plane. II. From 2.5 to 20 solar masses

G. Bertelli, E. Nasi, L. Girardi +1

We extend our theoretical computations for low-mass stars to intermediate-mass and massive stars, for which few databases exist in the literature. Evolutionary tracks and isochrone…
