Dynamically consistent analysis of Galactic WN4b stars
Roel R. Lefever, Andreas A. C. Sander, Matheus Bernini-Peron +6
Many Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars have optically thick winds that cloak the hydrostatic layers of the underlying star. In these cases, traditional spectral analysis methods are plagued by…
Discovery of a new transitional type of evolved massive stars with hard ionizing flux
Andreas A. C. Sander, Roel R. Lefever, Joris Josiek +12
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolved descendants of the most massive stars and show emission-line dominated spectra formed in their powerful stellar winds. Marking the final evolu…
Testing massive star evolution, star-formation history, and feedback at low metallicity: Photometric analysis of OB stars in the SMC Wing
Leah M. Fulmer, John S. Gallagher, Wolf-Rainer Hamann +2
The supergiant ionized shell SMC-SGS 1 (DEM 167), located in the outer Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), resembles structures that originate from an energetic star-formatio…
On the apparent absence of WR+NS systems: the curious case of WR124
J. A. Toala, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +8
Among different types of massive stars in advanced evolutionary stages is the enigmatic WN8h type. There are only a few Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars with this spectral type in our Galaxy.…
Stellar population of the superbubble N206 in the LMC II. Parameters of the OB and WR stars, and the total massive star feedback
Varsha Ramachandran, W. -R. Hamann, R. Hainich +5
Clusters or associations of early-type stars are often associated with a 'superbubble' of hot gas. The formation of such superbubbles is caused by the feedback from massive stars.…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring project: II. A first SB2 orbital and spectroscopic analysis for the Wolf-Rayet binary R145
T. Shenar, N. D. Richardson, D. P. Sablowski +19
We present the first SB2 orbital solution and disentanglement of the massive Wolf-Rayet binary R145 (P = 159d) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The primary was claimed to hav…
