A High Angular Resolution Survey of Massive Stars in Cygnus OB2: Results from the Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensors

Saida M. Caballero-Nieves, Edmund P. Nelan, Douglas R. Gies +8

We present results of a high angular resolution survey of massive OB stars in the Cygnus OB2 association that we conducted with the Fine Guidance Sensor 1R (FGS1r) on the Hubble Sp…

Photometric and Spectroscopic Studies of Massive Binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. Introduction and Orbits for Two Detached Systems: Evidence for a Mass Discrepancy?

Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell, Kathryn F. Neugent +3

The stellar mass-luminosity relation is poorly constrained by observations for high mass stars. We describe our program to find eclipsing massive binaries in the Magellanic Clouds…

The Search for Low-mass Companions of B Stars in the Carina Nebula Cluster Trumpler 16

Nancy Remage Evans, Kathleen DeGioia-Eastwood, Marc Gagne +9

We have developed lists of likely B3--A0 stars (called "late B" stars) in the young cluster Trumpler 16. The following criteria were used: location within 3' of Eta Car, an appropr…

The Physical Properties and Effective Temperature Scale of O-type Stars as a Function of Metallicity. III. More Results from the Magellanic Clouds

Philip Massey, Amanda M. Zangari, Nidia I. Morrell +4

In order to better determine the physical properties of hot, massive stars as a function of metallicity, we obtained very high SNR optical spectra of 26 O and early B stars in the…

The Distance and Metallicity of the Newly Discovered, Nearby Irregular Galaxy HIZSS3

David R. Silva, Philip Massey, Kathleen DeGioia-Eastwood +1

HIZSS3 is an H I source in the Zone of Avoidance. Its radio characteristics are consistent with it being nearby (~ 1.8 Mpc) low-mass dwarf irregular (dIm) galaxy. It contains a mod…

The Progenitor Masses of Wolf-Rayet Stars and Luminous Blue Variables Determined from Cluster Turn-offs. II. Results from 12 Galactic Clusters and OB Associations

P. Massey, K. DeGioia-Eastwood, E. Waterhouse

Here we examine 12 Galactic clusters and OB associations containing Wolf-Rayet stars (W-Rs) and/or Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), in order to assess the progentor masses of these…

The Progenitor Masses of Wolf-Rayet Stars and Luminous Blue Variables Determined from Cluster Turn-offs. I. Results from 19 OB Associations in the Magellanic Clouds

Philip Massey, Elizabeth Waterhouse, Kathleen DeGioia-Eastwood

We combine new CCD UBV photometry and spectroscopy with that from the literature to investigate 19 Magellanic Cloud OB associations that contain Wolf-Rayet (WR) and other types of…
