Physical Properties of Red Supergiants
Philip Massey, Bertrand Plez, Emily M. Levesque +3
Red supergiants (RSGs) are an evolved stage in the life of intermediate massive stars (<25Mo). For many years their location in the H-R diagram was at variance with the evolutionar…
Late-Type Red Supergiants: Too Cool for the Magellanic Clouds?
Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey, K. A. G. Olsen +1
We have identified seven red supergiants (RSGs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and four RSGs in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), all of which have spectral types that are con…
The Effective Temperatures and Physical Properties of Magellanic Cloud Red Supergiants: The Effects of Metallicity
Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey, K. A. G. Olsen +3
We use the MARCS stellar atmosphere to derive the physical properties of 36 red supergiants (RSGs) in the LMC, and 39 RSGs in the SMC using moderate-resolution optical spectrophoto…
The Reddening of Red Supergiants: When Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Philip Massey, Bertrand Plez, Emily M. Levesque +3
Deriving the physical properties of red supergiants (RSGs) depends upon accurate corrections for reddening by dust. We use our recent modeling of the optical spectra of RSGs to add…
