Hidden massive eclipsing binaries in red supergiant systems: The hierarchical triple system KQ Puppis and other candidates
D. Jadlovský, L. Molnár, A. Ercolino +26
The majority of massive stars are part of binary systems that may interact during their evolution. However, not many RSGs are known binaries, and only a few have constrained orbita…
VLTI-GRAVITY measurements of cool evolved stars: II. Pulsation properties and mass-loss process of the Mira star R Car and the red supergiant VX Sgr
D. Jadlovský, M. Wittkowski, A. Chiavassa +9
The mass-loss process of red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and its relation to variability are poorly constrained. We study two evolved stars, the Mira-t…
A scaling relationship for non-thermal radio emission from ordered magnetospheres - II. Investigating the efficiency of relativistic electron production in magnetospheres of BA-type stars
P. Leto, S. Owocki, C. Trigilio +19
Magnetic BA stars host dipole-like magnetospheres. When detected as radio sources, their luminosities correlate with the magnetic field and rotation. Rotation is crucial because th…
Horizontal flows in the atmospheres of chemically peculiar stars
A. ud-Doula, J. Krticka, B. Kubátová
Context. Classical chemically peculiar stars exhibit atmospheres that are often structured by the effects of atomic diffusion. As a result of these elemental diffusion and horizont…
