A dearth of young and bright massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud
A. Schootemeijer, N. Langer, D. Lennon +7
Massive star evolution at low metallicity is closely connected to many fields in high-redshift astrophysics, but poorly understood. The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is a unique lab…
MOONRISE: The Main MOONS GTO Extragalactic Survey
R. Maiolino, M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso +34
The MOONS instrument possesses an exceptional combination of large multiplexing, high sensitivity, broad simultaneous spectral coverage (from optical to near-infrared bands), large…
Mapping the core of the Tarantula Nebula with VLT-MUSE: I. Spectral and nebular content around R136
N. Castro, P. A. Crowther, C. J. Evans +5
We introduce VLT-MUSE observations of the central 2 (3030 pc) of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations provide an unprecedented sp…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: massive star clusters in M83, and the mass-metallicity relation of nearby galaxies
Ben Davies, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Carmela Lardo +6
We present an abundance analysis of seven super-star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by Red Supergiants, and the spectral sim…
The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey: EDIBLES I. Project description, survey sample and quality assessment
Nick Cox, Jan Cami, Amin Farhang +27
The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of study, two strong a…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: The Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300
J. Zachary Gazak, Rolf Kudritzki, Chris Evans +9
We present a quantitative spectroscopic study of twenty-seven red supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300. J-band spectra were obtained using KMOS on the VLT and studied with st…
