The Magellanic zoo: Mid-infrared Spitzer spectroscopy of evolved stars and circumstellar dust in the Magellanic Clouds
G. C. Sloan, K. E. Kraemer, P. R. Wood +4
We observed a sample of evolved stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Comparing samples from t…
R Coronae Borealis stars in the Galactic Bulge discovered by EROS-2
P. Tisserand, J. B. Marquette, P. R. Wood +33
Rare types of variable star may give unique insight into short-lived stages of stellar evolution. The systematic monitoring of millions of stars and advanced light curve analysis t…
Spitzer Space Telescope spectral observations of AGB stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy
M. Matsuura, A. A. Zijlstra, J. Bernard-Salas +10
We have observed five carbon-rich AGB stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, using the Infrared Spectrometer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The stars were selec…
A Post-AGB Star in the Small Magellanic Cloud Observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph
Kathleen E. Kraemer, G. C. Sloan, J. Bernard-Salas +3
We have observed an evolved star with a rare combination of spectral features, MSX SMC 029, in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using the low-resolution modules of the Infrared Spe…
Mid-infrared spectroscopy of carbon stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
G. C. Sloan, K. E. Kraemer, M. Matsuura +3
We have observed a sample of 36 objects in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with the Infrared Spectrometer on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Nineteen of these sources are carbon star…
Bump Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds: Metallicities, the Distances to the LMC and SMC, and the Pulsation-Evolution Mass Discrepancy
S. C. Keller, P. R. Wood
We utilize nonlinear pulsation models to reproduce the observed light and color curves for two samples of bump Cepheid variables, 19 from the Large Magellanic Cloud and 9 from the…
ESO-VLT and Spitzer spectroscopy of IRAS05328-6827: a massive young stellar object in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Jacco Th. van Loon, J. M. Oliveira, P. R. Wood +10
We present the first thermal-infrared spectra of an extra-galactic Young Stellar Object (YSO), IRAS05328-6827 in the HII region LHA 120-N148 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The obse…
R CrB Candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Observations of Cold, Featureless Dust with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph
Kathleen E. Kraemer, G. C. Sloan, P. R. Wood +2
We observed 36 evolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using the low-resolution mode of the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Two of these stars…
The unusual silicate dust around HV 2310, an evolved star in the LMC
G. C. Sloan, D. Devost, J. Bernard-Salas +2
The spectrum of HV 2310, an evolved star in the Large Magellanic Cloud, taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope reveals the presence of an optical…
SSSPM J15493544 Is Not a White Dwarf
J. Farihi, P. R. Wood, B. Stalder
Spectroscopy and photometry demonstrate that SSSPM J15493544 is not a cool white dwarf but a high velocity metal-poor halo star.
Large Magellanic Cloud Bump Cepheids: Probing the Stellar Mass-Luminosity Relation
Stefan C. Keller, Peter R. Wood
We present the results of non-linear pulsation modelling of 20 bump Cepheids in the LMC. By obtaining a optimal fit to the observed V,R MACHO lightcurves we have placed tight const…
