Multi-Dimensional MHD simulations of young Core-Collapse Supernova Remnants
C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, B. Reville +3
Supernova remnants (SNRs) play a central role in shaping the interstellar medium. Core-Collapse Supernova (CCSN) progenitors are massive stars, which produce a dense circumstellar…
The IACOB project: XVI. Surface helium abundances in Galactic O-type stars: indications for identifying binary interaction products
S. Simón-DÃaz, G. Holgado, C. MartÃnez-Sebastián +13
The presence of massive O-type stars with surfaces enriched by CNO-cycle products has been known since the early 1980s. For many years, internal rotational mixing was assumed to be…
EWOCS-V: Is Wd1-72 a recent post-interaction WR+O binary?
C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, H. Jin +14
The evolutionary origin of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at Solar metallicity is unclear. Single-star evolution from massive O stars, possibly via a Luminous Blue Variable phase, is challe…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Projected rotational velocities
D. J. Lennon, S. R. Berlanas, A. Herrero +36
The Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM) survey is an ESO large programme designed to obtain multi-epoch spectroscopy for 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). It w…
The drastic impact of Eddington-limit induced mass ejections on massive star populations
D. Pauli, N. Langer, A. Schootemeijer +6
Massive stars are the key engines of the Universe. However, their evolution and thus their ionizing feedback are still not fully understood. One of the largest gaps in current stel…
Populations of evolved massive binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud I: Predictions from detailed evolution models
X. -T. Xu, C. Schürmann, N. Langer +13
Context. The majority of massive stars are born with a close binary companion. How this affects their evolution and fate is still largely uncertain, especially at low metallicity.…
