A Galactic intermediate-mass stripped star with a Wolf-Rayet-like wind
Johanna Müller-Horn, Kareem El-Badry, Andreas A. C. Sander +17
Binary interaction in massive stars is expected to produce a large population of intermediate-mass (- M) envelope-stripped stars, yet such objects have remained elusi…
Ultraviolet spectroscopy reveals a hot and luminous companion to the Be star+black hole candidate MWC 656
Johanna Müller-Horn, Varsha Ramachandran, Kareem El-Badry +11
The Galactic Be star binary MWC 656 was long considered the only known Be star+black hole (BH) system, making it a critical benchmark for models of massive binary evolution and for…
The winds of OBA hypergiants and luminous blue variables: Dynamically-consistent atmosphere models reveal multiple wind regimes
Matheus Bernini-Peron, Andreas A. C. Sander, Gautham N. Sabhahit +3
OBA hypergiants (OBAHGs) are evolved massive stars with notable wind features in their optical spectrum. Located at the cool edge of the line-driven wind regime, many are candidate…
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…
Metal-poor single Wolf-Rayet stars: The interplay of optically thick winds and rotation
Lumen Boco, Michela Mapelli, Andreas A. C. Sander +7
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts 12 known Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, seven of which are apparently single. Their formation is a challenge for current stellar evolution models bec…
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…
