Evolution of wide O star binaries through their LBV stage. Population synthesis with mass-ejection-driven orbital evolution

Xiao-Tian Xu, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +6

Context. Long-period Wolf-Rayet (WR) star binaries produced by mass transfer are predicted to be abundant, but are observationally rare. This yields constraints on the evolution of…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

Extinction towards the cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud: An extinction law from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet

Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +4

The cluster R136 in the giant star-forming region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offers a unique opportunity to resolve a stellar population in a starburst-like env…

The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. III. The most massive stars and their clumped winds

Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +17

Context: The star cluster R136 inside the LMC hosts a rich population of massive stars, including the most massive stars known. The strong stellar winds of these very luminous star…

Thermonuclear and Electron-Capture Supernovae from Stripped-Envelope Stars

Savvas Chanlaridis, John Antoniadis, David R. Aguilera-Dena +3

(abridged) When stripped from their hydrogen-rich envelopes, stars with initial masses between 7 and 11 M develop massive degenerate cores and collapse. Depending on…

Type IIP supernova light curves affected by the acceleration of red supergiant winds

Takashi J. Moriya, Francisco Förster, Sung-Chul Yoon +2

We introduce the first synthetic light-curve model set of Type IIP supernovae exploded within circumstellar media in which the acceleration of the red supergiant winds is taken int…
