Massive Stars in the W33 Giant Molecular Complex
Maria Messineo, J. Simon Clark, Donald F. Figer +9
Rich in HII regions, giant molecular clouds are natural laboratories to study massive stars and sequential star formation. The Galactic star forming complex W33 is located at l=~12…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: The Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300
J. Zachary Gazak, Rolf Kudritzki, Chris Evans +9
We present a quantitative spectroscopic study of twenty-seven red supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300. J-band spectra were obtained using KMOS on the VLT and studied with st…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: The Magellanic Clouds
Ben Davies, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Zach Gazak +4
Red Supergiants (RSGs) are cool (~4000K), highly luminous stars (L - 10^5 Lsun), and are among the brightest near-infrared (NIR) sources in star-forming galaxies. This makes them p…
The Science Case for Multi-Object Spectroscopy on the European ELT
Chris Evans, Mathieu Puech, Jose Afonso +68
This White Paper presents the scientific motivations for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) on the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). The MOS case draws on all fields of co…
