The Galactic WN stars revisited. Impact of Gaia distances on fundamental stellar parameters

W. -R. Hamann, G. Gräfener, A. Liermann +6

Comprehensive spectral analyses of the Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars of the nitrogen sequence (i.e.\ the WN subclass) have been performed in a previous paper. However, the distances of…

Numerical simulations and infrared spectro-interferometry reveal the wind collision region in gamma2 Velorum

A. Lamberts, F. Millour, A. Liermann +10

Colliding stellar winds in massive binary systems have been studied through their radio, optical lines and strong X-ray emission for decades. More recently, near-infrared spectroin…

Analysis of the WN star WR 102c, its WR nebula, and the associated cluster of massive stars in the Sickle Nebula

M. Steinke, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +3

The massive Wolf-Rayet type star WR 102c is located near the Quintuplet Cluster - one of the three massive star clusters in the Galactic Center region. Previous studies indicated t…

Evidence of the Evolved Nature of the B[e] Star MWC 137

M. F. Muratore, M. Kraus, M. E. Oksala +4

The evolutionary phase of B[e] stars is difficult to establish due to the uncertainties in their fundamental parameters. For instance, possible classifications for the Galactic B[e…

A K-band spectral mini-survey of Galactic B[e] stars

A. Liermann, O. Schnurr, M. Kraus +3

We present a mini-survey of Galactic B[e] stars mainly undertaken with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). B[e] stars show morphological features with hydrogen emission lines and…

The Wolf-Rayet stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: A comprehensive analysis of the WN class

R. Hainich, U. Rühling, H. Todt +6

Aims: Following our comprehensive studies of the WR stars in the Milky Way, we now present spectroscopic analyses of almost all known WN stars in the LMC. Methods: For the quantita…
