Evidence for stellar mergers of evolved massive binaries: blue supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Athira Menon, Andrea Ercolino, Miguel A. Urbaneja +8
Blue supergiants are the brightest stars in their host galaxies and yet their evolutionary status has been a long-standing problem in stellar astrophysics. In this pioneering work,…
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…
Spectroscopic and evolutionary analyses of the binary system AzV 14 outline paths toward the WR stage at low metallicity
D. Pauli, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +16
The origin of the observed population of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in low-metallicity (low-Z) galaxies, such as the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), is not yet understood. Standard, singl…
Reverse Algols and hydrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet stars from very massive binaries
K. Sen, N. Langer, D. Pauli +6
Massive star feedback affects the evolution of galaxies, where the most massive stars may have the largest impact. The majority of massive stars are born as members of close binary…
