The chemical abundances in the Galactic Centre from the atmospheres of Red Supergiants
Ben Davies, Livia Origlia, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki +3
The Galactic Centre (GC) has experienced a high degree of recent star-forming activity, as evidenced by the large number of massive stars currently residing there. The relative abu…
Discovery of a young massive stellar cluster near HESS J1813-178
Maria Messineo, Donald F. Figer, Ben Davies +3
We present the serendipitous discovery of a young stellar cluster in the Galactic disk at l=12deg. Using Keck/NIRSPEC, we obtained high- and low-resolution spectroscopy of several…
Post-Red Supergiants
Rene Oudmaijer, Ben Davies, Willem-Jan de Wit +1
The yellow hypergiants are found in a stage between the massive Red Supergiants and the Wolf-Rayet stars. This review addresses current issues concerning the evolution of massive s…
Spectropolarimetry of the Massive Post-Red Supergiants IRC +10420 and HD 179821
M. Patel, R. D. Oudmaijer, J. S. Vink +5
We present medium resolution spectropolarimetry and long term photo-polarimetry of two massive post-red supergiants, IRC +10420 and HD 179821. The data provide new information on t…
The cool supergiant population of the massive young star cluster RSGC1
Ben Davies, Don F. Figer, Casey J. Law +4
We present new high-resolution near-IR spectroscopy and OH maser observations to investigate the population of cool luminous stars of the young massive Galactic cluster RSGC1. Usin…
A massive cluster of Red Supergiants at the base of the Scutum-Crux arm
Ben Davies, Don F. Figer, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki +3
We report on the unprecedented Red Supergiant (RSG) population of a massive young cluster, located at the base of the Scutum-Crux Galactic arm. We identify candidate cluster RSGs b…
