X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity XV. On the metallicity dependence of B-supergiant mass-loss rates
O. Verhamme, J. O. Sundqvist, A. de Koter +21
Context. For stellar evolution models we rely on mass-loss rate prescriptions that show features that lack empirical confirmation, such as the bi-stability jump. This jump is an in…
Multi-dimensional, time-dependent approximate NLTE unified model atmospheres with winds for hot, massive stars
Dwaipayan Debnath, Jon O. Sundqvist, Nicolas Moens +3
Multi-dimensional unified model atmospheres with winds of massive stars have so far been studied under the assumption of equal flux, Planck, and energy weighted mean opacities, whi…
Simulations of massive star atmospheres and winds during giant eruptive and quiescent luminous blue variable phases
P. Schillemans, J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath +3
Mass loss from massive stars located in the part of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) where we find luminous blue variables (LBVs) is profoundly important for stellar evolution…
Spectral synthesis of 3D unified model atmospheres with winds for O stars
L. Delbroek, J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath +5
Spectroscopic studies of massive and luminous O-type stellar atmospheres and winds have primarily been done by using 1D, spherically symmetric and stationary models. Both observati…
2D unified atmosphere and wind simulations for a grid of O-type stars
Nicolas Moens, Dwaipayan Debnath, Olivier Verhamme +4
The atmospheres of massive O-type stars (O stars) are dynamic, turbulent environments resulting from radiatively driven instabilities over the iron bump, located slightly beneath t…
An on-the-fly line-driven-wind iterative mass-loss estimator (LIME) for hot, massive stars of arbitrary chemical compositions
J. O. Sundqvist, D. Debnath, F. Backs +7
Mass-loss rates from hot, massive stars are important for a range of astrophysical applications. We present \href{https://lime.ster.kuleuven.be/}{LIME}, a fast, efficient, and easy…
