The effects of red supergiant mass loss on supernova ejecta and the circumburst medium

Jacco Th. van Loon

Massive stars becoming red supergiants lose a significant amount of their mass during that brief evolutionary phase. They then either explode as a hydrogen-rich supernova (SN Type…

Detailed maps of interstellar clouds in front of omega Centauri: Small-scale structures in the Galactic Disc-Halo interface

Jacco Th. van Loon, Keith T. Smith, Iain McDonald +3

We used the multiplex capabilities of the AAOmega spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope to create a half-square-degree map of the neutral and low-ionized ISM in front of t…

Giants in the globular cluster omega Centauri: dust production, mass loss and distance

Iain McDonald, Jacco Th. van Loon, Leen Decin +5

We present spectral energy distribution modelling of 6875 stars in omega Centauri, obtaining stellar luminosities and temperatures by fitting literature photometry to state-of-the-…

The Dust-to-Gas Ratio in the Small Magellanic Cloud Tail

K. D. Gordon, C. Bot, E. Muller +21

The Tail region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was imaged using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the SAGE-SMC Spitzer Legacy. Diffuse infrared emi…

A Spitzer search for cold dust within globular clusters

P. Barmby, M. L. Boyer, C. E. Woodward +5

Globular cluster stars evolving off the main sequence are known to lose mass, and it is expected that some of the lost material should remain within the cluster as an intracluster…

Spitzer Space Telescope evidence in NGC 6791: no super-mass-loss at super-solar metallicity to explain helium white dwarfs?

Jacco Th. van Loon, Martha L. Boyer, Iain McDonald

We use archival Spitzer Space Telescope photometry of the old, super-solar metallicity massive open cluster NGC 6791 to look for evidence of enhanced mass loss, which has been post…
