Yellow Supergiants and Post-Red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Roberta M. Humphreys, Terry J. Jones, John C. Martin

The empirical evidence for an upper mass limit for the red supergiant (RSG) progenitors of the Type II-P SNe at about 18 Msun, raises questions about the fate of the most luminous,…

Exploring the Magnetic Field Geometry in NGC 891 with SOFIA/HAWC+

Jin-Ah Kim, Terry Jay Jones, C. Darren Dowell

SOFIA/HAWC+ 154 m Far-Infrared polarimetry observations of the well-studied edge-on galaxy NGC 891 are analyzed and compared to simple disk models with ordered (planar) and turb…

Episodic Gaseous Outflows and Mass Loss from Red Supergiants

Roberta M. Humphreys, Terry J. Jones

The red hypergiant VY CMa and the more typical red supergiant Betelgeuse provide clear observational evidence for discrete, directed gaseous outflows in their optical and infrared…

The Mass-Loss History of the Red Hypergiant VY CMa

Roberta M. Humphreys, Kris Davidson, A. M. S. Richards +3

Imaging and spectroscopy of the knots, clumps, and extended arcs in the complex ejecta of VY CMa confirm a record of high mass loss events over the past few hundred years. HST/STIS…

HAWC+ Far-Infrared Observations of the Magnetic Field Geometry in M51 and NGC 891

Terry Jay Jones, Jin-Ah Kim, C. Darren Dowell +29

SOFIA HAWC+ polarimetry at $154~\micron$ is reported for the face-on galaxy M51 and the edge-on galaxy NGC 891. For M51, the polarization vectors generally follow the spiral patter…

Exploring the Mass Loss Histories of the Red Supergiants

Roberta M. Humphreys, Greta Helmel, Terry J. Jones +1

We report mid- to far-infrared imaging and photomety from 7 to 37 microns with SOFIA/FORCAST and 2 micron adaptive optics imaging with LBTI/LMIRCam of a large sample of red supergi…
