Distinct Population of Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Low-Metallicity Galaxy NGC 6822. Quantitative analysis of optical and UV spectra of the complete sample

R. Trigg, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +9

Context: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are particularly rare in low-metallicity galaxies and remain poorly understood. Detailed studies of the presumably complete population of WR stars in…

Potsdam Wolf-Rayet stellar atmosphere grids of OB-type stars: I. Spectroscopic temperature diagnostics across metallicity

D. Pauli, H. Todt, W. -R. Hamann +5

Massive hot stars are among the major ionizing sources in the Universe. The ionizing flux of a star strongly depends on its temperature, which is best measured spectroscopically us…

Bolometric correction for cosmologically redshifted stars with dust: an update to the YBC database

Yang Chen, Xiaoting Fu, Léo Girardi +2

Observations from HST & JWST continue to reveal gravitationally magnified high-redshift star candidates, resulting in increasing demand for accurate stellar bolometric corrections…

Studying hot evolved stars with ultraviolet spectroscopy

Stephan Geier, Nicole Reindl, Matti Dorsch +7

Hot evolved stars are key objects to reconstruct the various evolutionary pathways of Sun-like stars, to probe binary interactions and the physics of supernovae. They serve as powe…

Dynamically consistent analysis of Galactic WN4b stars

Roel R. Lefever, Andreas A. C. Sander, Matheus Bernini-Peron +6

Many Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars have optically thick winds that cloak the hydrostatic layers of the underlying star. In these cases, traditional spectral analysis methods are plagued by…

Discovery of a new transitional type of evolved massive stars with hard ionizing flux

Andreas A. C. Sander, Roel R. Lefever, Joris Josiek +12

Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolved descendants of the most massive stars and show emission-line dominated spectra formed in their powerful stellar winds. Marking the final evolu…
