Slow Massive-Star Formation and the O-Star ZAMS Deficit
Paolo Padoan, Samuel Shipkoff, Mark Gieles +1
The scarcity of optically visible O stars near the theoretical zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) has puzzled astronomers for over four decades. We argue that it reflects prolonged accr…
Very Massive Stars with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Fabrice Martins, Aida Wofford, Miriam Garcia +3
Very massive stars (VMS) are defined as stars with an initial mass in excess of 100 Msun. Because of their short lifetime and the shape of the stellar mass function, they are rare…
Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey IV. WR 62-2, a new very massive star in the core of the VVV CL041 cluster
A. -N. Chené, S. Ramírez Alegría, J. Borissova +8
Context The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for an unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge and…
STIS spectroscopy of newborn massive stars in SMC N81
M. Heydari-Malayeri, M. R. Rosa, D. Schaerer +2
Using Hubble Space Telescope observations with STIS, we study the main exciting stars of N81, a high excitation compact Hii region in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These far UV…
