Spatial and spectral constraints on resolved mass-loss of the massive Post-RSG star IRAS 17163-3907 and its Fried Egg Nebula
E. Koumpia, A. Cikota, W. -J. de Wit +12
The fate of massive stars during the latest stages of their evolution is highly dependent on their mass-loss rate and geometry. These processes have a significant influence on star…
Investigating episodic mass loss in evolved massive stars IV. Comprehensive analysis of dusty red supergiants in NGC 6822, IC 10, and WLM
E. Christodoulou, S. de Wit, A. Z. Bonanos +6
Mass loss shapes the fate of massive stars; however, the physical mechanism causing it remains uncertain. We present a comprehensive analysis of seven red supergiants, for which we…
Investigating episodic mass loss in evolved massive stars: III. Spectroscopy of dusty massive stars in three northern galaxies
S. de Wit, G. Muñoz-Sanchez, G. Maravelias +6
Mass loss in massive stars is crucial to understanding how these stars evolve and explode. Despite increasing evidence indicating its importance, episodic mass loss remains poorly…
Investigating the metallicity dependence of the mass-loss rate relation of red supergiants
K. Antoniadis, E. Zapartas, A. Z. Bonanos +8
Red supergiants (RSGs) are cool and evolved massive stars exhibiting enhanced mass loss compared to their main sequence phase, affecting their evolution and fate. However, the theo…
The dramatic transition of the extreme Red Supergiant WOH G64 to a Yellow Hypergiant
G. Munoz-Sanchez, M. Kalitsounaki, S. de Wit +8
Red Supergiants (RSGs) are cool, evolved massive stars in their final evolutionary stage before exploding as a supernova. However, the evolution and fate of the most luminous RSGs…
The effect of mass loss in models of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
E. Zapartas, S. de Wit, K. Antoniadis +16
The rate and mechanism of mass loss of red supergiants (RSGs) remain poorly understood, especially at low metallicities. Motivated by the new empirical prescription by Yang et al.…
