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…
Integral-Field Spectroscopy of the Post Red Supergiant IRC +10420: evidence for an axi-symmetric wind
Ben Davies, René D. Oudmaijer, Kailash C. Sahu
We present NAOMI/OASIS adaptive-optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy of the transitional massive hypergiant IRC +10420, an extreme mass-losing star apparently in the process…
Modelling the clumping-induced polarimetric variability of hot star winds
Ben Davies, Jorick S. Vink, René D. Oudmaijer
Clumping in the winds of massive stars may significantly reduce empirical mass-loss rates, and which in turn may have a large impact on our understanding of massive star evolution.…
