A census of OBe stars in nearby metal-poor dwarf galaxies reveals a high fraction of extreme rotators
A. Schootemeijer, D. J. Lennon, M. Garcia +3
The Early Universe, together with many nearby dwarf galaxies, is deficient in heavy elements. The evolution of massive stars in such environments is thought to be affected by rotat…
Hunting for red supergiant binaries: UVIT photometry of the SMC
L. R. Patrick, D. Thilker, D. J. Lennon +5
We present UVIT/Astrosat UV photometry of the RSG population of the Small Cloud galaxy (SMC). As RSGs are extremely faint in the far-UV, these observations directly probe potential…
Red supergiant stars in binary systems. I. Identification and characterisation in the Small Magellanic Cloud from the UVIT ultraviolet imaging survey
L. R. Patrick, D. Thilker, D. J. Lennon +5
We aim to identify and characterise binary systems containing red supergiant (RSG) stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using a newly available ultraviolet (UV) point source c…
Stellar mergers as the origin of the blue main-sequence band in young star clusters
Chen Wang, Norbert Langer, Abel Schootemeijer +10
Recent high-quality Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry shows that the main sequences (MS) stars of young star clusters form two discrete components in the color-magnitude diag…
A stringent upper limit on Be star fractions produced by binary interaction
B. Hastings, N. Langer, C. Wang +2
Context. Binary evolution can result in fast-rotating stars, predicted to be observable as Be stars, through accretion of angular momentum during mass-transfer phases. Despite nume…
A dearth of young and bright massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Schootemeijer, N. Langer, D. Lennon +7
Massive star evolution at low metallicity is closely connected to many fields in high-redshift astrophysics, but poorly understood. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a unique lab…
