SpecFANN: Spectral Fitting via Artificial Neural Networks I. A deep learning based fastwind emulator and fitting suite

M. Abdul-Masih, C. Hawcroft, T. Lechien +14

The importance of massive stars cannot be overstated: they are powerful probes of the early universe, play a vital role in the chemical and mechanical evolution of their host envir…

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…

Evolutionary models for the Very Massive Stars in the R136 cluster of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Z. Keszthelyi, S. A. Brands, A. de Koter +2

The cluster R136 in the LMC contains a population of stars in excess of 100 M, including R136a1, the most massive star known. Very Massive Stars (VMSs) play an influential…

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…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity IX: Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

O. Verhamme, J. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +16

Context. Current implementations of mass loss for hot, massive stars in stellar evolution models include a sharp increase in mass loss when blue supergiants become cooler than Teff…

Stellar Atmospheres

Joachim Puls, Artemio Herrero, Carlos Allende Prieto

Stars play a decisive role in our Universe, from its beginning throughout its complete evolution. For a thorough understanding of their properties, evolution, and physics of their…
