The effect of winds on atmospheric layers of red supergiants I. Modelling for interferometric observations

G. González-Torà, M. Wittkowski, B. Davies +2

Red supergiants (RSGs) are evolved massive stars in a stage preceding core-collapse supernova. The physical processes that trigger mass loss in their atmospheres are still not full…

The effect of winds in red supergiants: modeling for interferometry

Gemma González-Torà, Markus Wittkowski, Ben Davies +1

Red supergiants (RSGs) are evolved massive stars in a stage preceding core-collapse supernova. Understanding evolved-phases of these cool stars is key to understanding the cosmic m…

Explosion Imminent: the appearance of Red Supergiants at the point of core-collapse

Ben Davies, Bertrand Plez, Mike Petrault

From the early radiation of type II-P supernovae (SNe), it has been claimed that the majority of their red supergiant (RSG) progenitors are enshrouded by large amounts of circumste…

Probing Red Supergiant dynamics through photo-center displacements measured by Gaia

A. Chiavassa, R. Kudritzki, B. Davies +2

Red supergiant (RSGs) are cool massive stars in a late phase of their evolution when the stellar envelope becomes fully convective. They are the brightest stars in the universe at…

Red Supergiants in M31: The Humphreys-Davidson limit at high metallicity

Sarah L. E. McDonald, Ben Davies, Emma R. Beasor

The empirical upper limit to Red Supergiant (RSG) luminosity, known as the Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit, has been commonly explained as being caused by the stripping of stellar en…

The impact of winds on the spectral appearance of Red Supergiants

Ben Davies, Bertrand Plez

The rate at which mass is lost during the Red Supergiant evolutionary stage may strongly influence how the star appears. Though there have been many studies discussing how RSGs app…
