Probing Thin Winds in Massive OB Stars of the SMC with JWST/NIRSPEC Br-alpha Spectroscopy
Miriam Garcia, Alexander W. Fullerton, Francisco Najarro +12
Mass loss is a key physical process in the evolution of massive stars, the impact of which propagates into galactic evolution, population synthesis models, the interpretation of hi…
A new sample of massive B-type contact binary candidates from the OGLE survey of the Magellanic Clouds
Athira Menon, Michal Pawlak, Daniel J. Lennon +2
Massive contact binaries (CBs) are key to understanding close-binary evolution and stellar mergers, yet their study has been limited by the scarcity of observed systems, particular…
Boron depletion in Galactic early B-type stars reveals two different main sequence star populations
Harim Jin, Norbert Langer, Daniel J. Lennon +1
The evolution and fate of massive stars are thought to be affected by rotationally induced internal mixing. The surface boron abundance is a sensitive tracer of this in early B-typ…
Boron Abundances in Early B Dwarfs of the Galactic Open Cluster NGC 3293
Charles R. Proffitt, Harim Jin, Simone Daflon +4
New boron abundances or upper limits have been determined for 8 early-B stars in the young Galactic open cluster NGC 3293, using ultraviolet spectra obtained by the Hubble Space Te…
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,…
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…
