Effects on vsini determinations of O stars from 3D model atmospheres with high turbulent velocities

L. Delbroek, J. O. Sundqvist, F. Backs +3

When studying massive stars and their life cycles, rotation plays a key role. Hence, understanding the rotation of these stars is crucial when determining their properties, or for…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity XV. On the metallicity dependence of B-supergiant mass-loss rates

O. Verhamme, J. O. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +21

Context. For stellar evolution models we rely on mass-loss rate prescriptions that show features that lack empirical confirmation, such as the bi-stability jump. This jump is an in…

The Tarantula massive binary monitoring VII. The nature of the eccentric O+BH binary candidate VFTS 812

K. Deshmukh, H. Sana, O. Verhamme +9

Massive O-type stars () with an X-ray quiet black hole (BH) companion represent a crucial stage in massive binary evolution leading to binary BH mergers. The p…

Spectral synthesis of 3D unified model atmospheres with winds for O stars

L. Delbroek, J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath +5

Spectroscopic studies of massive and luminous O-type stellar atmospheres and winds have primarily been done by using 1D, spherically symmetric and stationary models. Both observati…

Improving 1D stellar atmosphere models with insights from multi-dimensional simulations II. 1D versus 3D hydrodynamically consistent model comparison for WR stars

G. González-Torà, A. A. C. Sander, N. Moens +8

Classical Wolf-Rayet (cWR) stars are evolved massive stars that have lost most of their H envelope and exhibit dense, extended atmospheres with strong, line-driven winds. Accuratel…

An on-the-fly line-driven-wind iterative mass-loss estimator (LIME) for hot, massive stars of arbitrary chemical compositions

J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath, F. Backs +7

Mass-loss rates from hot, massive stars are important for a range of astrophysical applications. We present \href{https://lime.ster.kuleuven.be/}{LIME}, a fast, efficient, and easy…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23

Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity IX: Empirical constraints on mass-loss rates and clumping parameters for OB supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

O. Verhamme, J. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +16

Context. Current implementations of mass loss for hot, massive stars in stellar evolution models include a sharp increase in mass loss when blue supergiants become cooler than Teff…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity II. DR1: Advanced optical data products for the Magellanic Clouds

H. Sana, F. Tramper, M. Abdul-Masih +34

Using the medium resolution spectrograph X-shooter, spectra of 235 OB and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in sub-solar metallicity environments have been secured. [...]This second paper focu…

The Physical Basis of the Lx-Lbol Empirical Law for O-star X-rays

Stan Owocki, Jon Sundqvist, David Cohen +1

X-ray satellites since Einstein have empirically established that the X-ray luminosity from single O-stars scales linearly with bolometric luminosity, Lx ~ 10^-7 Lbol. But straight…
