The impact of mass-loss on the evolution and pre-supernova properties of red supergiants
G. Meynet, V. Chomienne, S. Ekström +7
The post main-sequence evolution of massive stars is very sensitive to many parameters of the stellar models. Key parameters are the mixing processes, the metallicity, the mass-los…
Updated Models for the Creation of a Low-z QSO Absorber by a Dwarf Galaxy Wind
Brian A. Keeney, Peter Joeris, John T. Stocke +2
We present new GALEX images and optical spectroscopy of J1229+02, a dwarf post-starburst galaxy located 81 kpc from the 1585 km/s absorber in the 3C 273 sight line. The absence of…
Discovery of a Thorne-Zytkow object candidate in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Emily M. Levesque, Philip Massey, Anna N. Zytkow +1
Thorne-Zytkow objects (TZOs) are a theoretical class of star in which a compact neutron star is surrounded by a large, diffuse envelope. Supergiant TZOs are predicted to be almost…
The Effects of Stellar Rotation. II. A Comprehensive Set of Starburst99 Models
Claus Leitherer, Sylvia Ekstrom, Georges Meynet +3
We present a new set of synthesis models for stellar populations obtained with Starburst99, which are based on new stellar evolutionary tracks with rotation. We discuss models with…
A Missing-Link in the Supernova-GRB Connection: The Case of SN 2012ap
Sayan Chakraborti, Alicia Soderberg, Laura Chomiuk +50
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are characterized by ultra-relativistic outflows, while supernovae are generally characterized by non-relativistic ejecta. GRB afterglows decelerate rapidly…
