Statistical properties of a sample of periodically variable B-type supergiants - Evidence for opacity-driven gravity-mode oscillations
K. Lefever, J. Puls, C. Aerts
We have studied a sample of 28 periodically variable B-type supergiants selected from the HIPPARCOS mission and 12 comparison stars covering the whole B-type spectral range. Our go…
A Grid of FASTWIND NLTE Model Atmospheres of Massive Stars
K. Lefever, J. Puls, C. Aerts
In the last few years our knowledge of the physics of massive stars has improved tremendously. However, further investigations are still needed, especially regarding accurate calib…
Stellar winds from massive stars - What are the REAL mass-loss rates?
J. Puls, N. Markova, S. Scuderi
We discuss recent evidence that currently accepted mass-loss rates may need to be revised downwards, as a consequence of previously neglected ``clumping'' of the wind. New results…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: Mass loss and rotation of early-type stars in the SMC
M. R. Mokiem, A. de Koter, C. J. Evans +9
We have studied the optical spectra of a sample of 31 O- and early B-type stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, 21 of which are associated with the young massive cluster NGC 346. St…
Bright OB stars in the Galaxy - III. Constraints on the radial stratification of the clumping factor in hot star winds from a combined Halpha, IR and radio analysis
J. Puls, N. Markova, S. Scuderi +4
Recent results strongly challenge the canonical picture of massive star winds: various evidence indicates that currently accepted mass-loss rates, Mdot, may need to be revised down…
