Building a Roadmap for Hubble science into the 2030s: Crucial UV spectroscopy of Oe stars in nearby galaxies
A. Wofford, D. Pauli, A. A. C. Sander +12
Hubble's unique COS G130M+G160M and STIS E140M UV spectral capabilities are essential for characterizing and understanding fundamental properties of main-sequence O-type emission-l…
Hidden massive eclipsing binaries in red supergiant systems: The hierarchical triple system KQ Puppis and other candidates
D. Jadlovský, L. Molnár, A. Ercolino +26
The majority of massive stars are part of binary systems that may interact during their evolution. However, not many RSGs are known binaries, and only a few have constrained orbita…
EWOCS-V: Is Wd1-72 a recent post-interaction WR+O binary?
C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, H. Jin +14
The evolutionary origin of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at Solar metallicity is unclear. Single-star evolution from massive O stars, possibly via a Luminous Blue Variable phase, is challe…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity XIV. Properties of SMC late-O and B supergiants reveal the metallicity dependence of winds in the Magellanic Clouds
T. Alkousa, P. A. Crowther, J. M. Bestenlehner +10
Considering the physics of radiation-driven winds of massive stars, the wind properties should depend on the metal content of the stellar atmosphere. Therefore, studying the winds…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Projected rotational velocities
D. J. Lennon, S. R. Berlanas, A. Herrero +36
The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It w…
SDSS-V LVM: Resolving Physical Conditions in the Trifid Nebula
Natascha Sattler, J. Eduardo Méndez-Delgado, Kathryn Kreckel +18
The chemical abundance of the interstellar medium sets the initial conditions for star formation and provides a probe of chemical galaxy evolution models. However, unresolved inhom…
