The Samples and Binary Fractions of Red Supergiant in M31 and M33 by the HST Observations

Min Dai, Shu Wang, Biwei Jiang +1

The binarity of red supergiants (RSGs) influences their evolution and the fate of supernovae. We investigate the binary fraction of RSGs in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and Triangulu…

The Binary Fraction of Red Supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds

Min Dai, Shu Wang, Biwei Jiang

Red supergiants (RSGs), as the descendants of OB-type stars and the progenitors of supernovae, provide crucial insights into the evolution of massive stars, particularly in binary…

Dependence of Multi-band Absolute Magnitudes and Color Indexes of the Tip of Red Giant Branch Stars on Metallicity in the Galactic Globular Clusters

Zhenzhen Shao, Shu Wang, Biwei Jiang +3

The tip of red giant branch (TRGB) stars have attracted intensive attention in recent years because their -band absolute magnitudes, $M_\rm I$, are often used for distance calib…

Searching for Galactic Red Supergiants with Gaia RVS Spectra

Zehao Zhang, Biwei Jiang, Yi Ren +2

Red supergiants (RSGs) are essential to understanding the evolution and the contribution to the interstellar medium of massive stars. However, the number of identified RSGs within…

Modeling of Granulation in Red Supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds with the Gaussian Process Regressions

Zehao Zhang, Yi Ren, Biwei Jiang +2

The granulation of red supergiants (RSGs) in the Magellanic Clouds are systematically investigated by combining the latest RSGs samples and light curves from the Optical Gravitatio…

Evolved Massive Stars at Low-metallicity VII. the Lower Mass Limit of Red Supergiant Population in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Ming Yang, Bo Zhang, Biwei Jiang +8

The precise definition of the lower mass limit of red supergiant stars (RSGs) is an open question in astrophysics and does not attract too much attention. Here we assemble a spectr…

Silicate Extinction Profile Based on the Stellar Spectrum by Spitzer/IRS

Zhenzhen Shao, Biwei Jiang

The 9.7 and 18 interstellar spectral features, arising from the Si--O stretching and O--Si--O bending mode of amorphous silicate dust, are the strongest extinction feature…

Evolved Massive Stars at Low-metallicity II. Red Supergiant Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Ming Yang, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Bi-Wei Jiang +9

We present the most comprehensive RSG sample for the SMC up to now, including 1,239 RSG candidates. The initial sample is derived based on a source catalog for the SMC with conserv…

Red supergiant stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. Infrared properties and mid-infrared variability

Ming Yang, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Bi-Wei Jiang +7

The characteristics of IR properties and MIR variability of RSGs in the LMC are analyzed based on 12 bands of NIR to MIR co-added data from 2MASS, Spitzer and WISE, and 6.6 y…

Red Supergiant Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: I. The Period-Luminosity Relation

Ming Yang, B. W. Jiang

From previous samples of Red Supergiants (RSGs) by various groups, 191 objects are assembled to compose a large sample of RSG candidates in LMC. For 189 of them, the identity as a…
