Characterizing the Low-Mass Pre-Main-Sequence Population in the Low-Metallicity Star-Forming Region Dolidze 25 Using VLT-MUSE

Mizna Ashraf, Jessy Jose, Gregory J. Herczeg +6

The metallicity of the star-forming environment is a fundamental parameter shaping the evolution of protoplanetary disks and the formation of planetary systems, yet its influence r…

Discovery of a new transitional type of evolved massive stars with hard ionizing flux

Andreas A. C. Sander, Roel R. Lefever, Joris Josiek +12

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolved descendants of the most massive stars and show emission-line dominated spectra formed in their powerful stellar winds. Marking the final evolu…

Minimum and maximum mass-luminosity relations for stripped stars

Gautham N. Sabhahit, Jorick S. Vink, Andreas A. C. Sander +1

Envelope stripping, whether through single-star wind mass loss or binary mass transfer, is a key evolutionary pathway for the formation of classical Wolf-Rayet stars and lower-mass…

Metal-poor single Wolf-Rayet stars: The interplay of optically thick winds and rotation

Lumen Boco, Michela Mapelli, Andreas A. C. Sander +7

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts 12 known Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, seven of which are apparently single. Their formation is a challenge for current stellar evolution models bec…

Exploring the connection between atmosphere models and evolution models of very massive stars

Joris Josiek, Andreas A. C. Sander, Matheus Bernini-Peron +6

Very massive stars (VMS) dominate the light of young stellar populations and are sources of intense stellar feedback. Their evolution is mainly driven by strong wind mass loss, yet…

New empirical mass-loss recipe for UV radiation line-driven winds of hot stars across various metallicities

D. Pauli, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +7

The winds of massive stars remove a significant fraction of their mass, strongly impacting their evolution. As a star evolves, the rate at which it loses mass changes. In stellar e…

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…
