Massive Star Formation in the LMC. I. N159 and N160 Complexes
Michael S. Gordon, Terry J. Jones, Robert D. Gehrz +1
We present images and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of massive young stellar objects (YSOs) in three star-forming H II regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud: N159A, N159 Pap…
Luminous and Variable Stars in M31 and M33. IV. Luminous Blue Variables, Candidate LBVs, and the B[e] Supergiants; How to Tell Them Apart
Roberta M. Humphreys, Michael S. Gordon, John C. Martin +2
In this series of papers we have presented the results of a spectroscopic survey of luminous and variable stars in the nearby spirals M31 and M33. In this paper, we present spectro…
Infrared polarimetry of Mrk 231: Scattering off hot dust grains in the central core
E. Lopez-Rodriguez, C. Packham, T. J. Jones +13
We present high-angular (0.170.35 arcsec) resolution imaging polarimetric observations of Mrk 231 in the 3.1 m filter using MMT-Pol on the 6.5-m MMT, and in the 8.7 m, 10.…
Multiple Outflows in the Giant Eruption of a Massive Star
Roberta M. Humphreys, John C. Martin, Michael S. Gordon +1
The supernova impostor PSN J09132750+7627410 in NGC 2748 reached a maximum luminosity of approximately -14 mag. It was quickly realized that its was not a true supernova, but anoth…
On the Social Traits of Luminous Blue Variables
Roberta M. Humphreys, Kerstin Weis, Kris Davidson +1
In a recent paper, Smith and Tombleson (2015) state that the Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds are isolated; that they are not spatially ass…
Luminous and Variable Stars in M31 and M33. III. The Yellow and Red Supergiants and Post-Red Supergiant Evolution
Michael S. Gordon, Roberta M. Humphreys, Terry J. Jones
Recent supernova and transient surveys have revealed an increasing number of non-terminal stellar eruptions. Though the progenitor class of these eruptions includes the most lumino…
