Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73

Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (…

Progress towards a 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code for outflow wind modelling: II. 3-D applications

Jakub Fišák, Jiří Kubát, Nicolas Moens +1

The massive hot stars play crucial role in the dynamics of galaxies. These stars influence their surroundings through strong winds which are highly structured processes. The theore…

Revisiting the Evolutionary Status of Massive Stars at the central parsec of the Milky Way

A. C. Gormaz-Matamala, J. Cuadra, B. Kubátová +2

Massive stars and their winds have a large influence in their environment, e.g, determining the accretion rate on to the Galactic Centre (GC) super-massive black hole Sgr A*. The w…

Where are the binaries? -- Searching for blue horizontal-branch stars in binary systems in the inner Galactic Halo

R. Culpan, M. Dorsch, I. Pelisoli +14

Blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars are evolved low-mass objects that have completed their core hydrogen burning main-sequence (MS) stage and have lost significant mass during the r…

Low-metallicity massive single stars with rotation. III. Source of ionization and C-IV emission in I Zw 18

Dorottya Szécsi, Frank Tramper, Brankica Kubátová +5

Chemically homogeneously evolving stars have been proposed to account for several exotic phenomena, including gravitational-wave emissions and gamma-ray bursts. Here we study wheth…

Polarization of light from fast rotating Wolf-Rayet stars: A Monte Carlo simulations compared to analytical formula

Slah Abdellaoui, Jiří Krtička, Brankica Kubátová +1

Fast-rotating Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are potential progenitors of long gamma-ray bursts, but observational verification is challenging. Spectral lines from their expanding stellar w…

Comprehensive UV and Optical spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1: Stellar and wind parameters, abundances, and evolutionary implications

V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander, L. M. Oskinova +7

We present a comprehensive analysis of Cyg X-1, utilizing archival high-resolution UV and optical spectra in conjunction with sophisticated atmospheric models. Notably, this is the…

Disentangling the stellar atmosphere and the focused wind in different accretion states of Cygnus X-1

M. Brigitte, P. Hadrava, B. Kubátová +8

In high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), the compact object accretes the strong stellar wind of an O-B supergiant companion star. X-ray flux variations alter the stellar wind's ionizat…

Horizontal flows in the atmospheres of chemically peculiar stars

A. ud-Doula, J. Krticka, B. Kubátová

Context. Classical chemically peculiar stars exhibit atmospheres that are often structured by the effects of atomic diffusion. As a result of these elemental diffusion and horizont…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity IX: Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

O. Verhamme, J. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +16

Context. Current implementations of mass loss for hot, massive stars in stellar evolution models include a sharp increase in mass loss when blue supergiants become cooler than Teff…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. III. Terminal wind speeds of ULLYSES massive stars

C. Hawcroft, H. Sana, L. Mahy +26

The winds of massive stars have an impact on stellar evolution and on the surrounding medium. The maximum speed reached by these outflows, the terminal wind speed, is a global wind…

New hydrodynamic solutions for line-driven winds of hot massive stars using Lambert -function

Alex C. Gormaz-Matamala, Michel Curé, D. John Hillier +3

Hot massive stars present strong stellar winds that are driven by absorption, scattering and re\-emission of photons by the ions of the atmosphere (\textit{line-driven winds}). A b…
