Clumpy molecular structures revolving the B[e] supergiant MWC 137

M. Kraus, L. S. Cidale, T. Liimets +10

The peculiar emission-line star MWC 137 with its extended optical nebula was recently classified as B[e] supergiant. To study the spatial distribution of its circumstellar molecula…

B[e] Supergiants' circumstellar environment: disks or rings?

G. Maravelias, M. Kraus, A. Aret +3

B[e] Supergiants are a phase in the evolution of some massive stars for which we have observational evidence but no predictions by any stellar evolution model. The mass-loss during…

Inhomogeneous molecular ring around the B[e] supergiant LHA 120-S 73

M. Kraus, L. S. Cidale, M. L. Arias +8

We aim to improve our knowledge on the structure and dynamics of the circumstellar disk of the LMC B[e] supergiant LHA 120-S 73. High-resolution optical and near-IR spectroscopic d…

Analytical Solutions for Radiation-Driven Winds in Massive Stars. I: The Fast Regime

Ignacio Araya, Michel Cure, Lydia S. Cidale

Accurate massloss rate estimates are crucial keys to study wind properties of massive stars and test different evolutionary scenarios. From a theoretical point of view, this implie…

A K-band spectral mini-survey of Galactic B[e] stars

A. Liermann, O. Schnurr, M. Kraus +3

We present a mini-survey of Galactic B[e] stars mainly undertaken with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). B[e] stars show morphological features with hydrogen emission lines and…

Discovery of the first B[e] supergiants in M 31

Michaela Kraus, Lydia S. Cidale, Maria Laura Arias +2

B[e] supergiants (B[e]SGs) are transitional objects in the post-main sequence evolution of massive stars. The small number of B[e]SGs known so far in the Galaxy and the Magellanic…
