Distinct Population of Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Low-Metallicity Galaxy NGC 6822. Quantitative analysis of optical and UV spectra of the complete sample

R. Trigg, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +9

Context: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are particularly rare in low-metallicity galaxies and remain poorly understood. Detailed studies of the presumably complete population of WR stars in…

Potsdam Wolf-Rayet stellar atmosphere grids of OB-type stars: I. Spectroscopic temperature diagnostics across metallicity

D. Pauli, H. Todt, W. -R. Hamann +5

Massive hot stars are among the major ionizing sources in the Universe. The ionizing flux of a star strongly depends on its temperature, which is best measured spectroscopically us…

First JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy of O Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Armin Mang Román, Peter Zeidler, Wolf-Rainer Hamann +10

Determining how much mass is removed by stellar winds is crucial to understanding massive star evolution and feedback. However, traditional spectroscopic diagnostics in the UV and…

Comprehensive UV and Optical spectral analysis of Cygnus X-1: Stellar and wind parameters, abundances, and evolutionary implications

V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander, L. M. Oskinova +7

We present a comprehensive analysis of Cyg X-1, utilizing archival high-resolution UV and optical spectra in conjunction with sophisticated atmospheric models. Notably, this is the…

New empirical mass-loss recipe for UV radiation line-driven winds of hot stars across various metallicities

D. Pauli, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +7

The winds of massive stars remove a significant fraction of their mass, strongly impacting their evolution. As a star evolves, the rate at which it loses mass changes. In stellar e…

Extremely iron-poor O-type stars in the Magellanic Bridge

E. C. Schösser, V. Ramachandran, A. A. C. Sander +7

To study stars analogous to those in the early Universe with redshift z > 3, we need to probe environments with low metallicities. Until recently, massive O-type stars with metalli…
