The effect of mass loss in models of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
E. Zapartas, S. de Wit, K. Antoniadis +16
The rate and mechanism of mass loss of red supergiants (RSGs) remain poorly understood, especially at low metallicities. Motivated by the new empirical prescription by Yang et al.…

Establishing a mass-loss rate relation for red supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Antoniadis, A. Z. Bonanos, S. de Wit +3
The high mass-loss rates of red supergiants (RSGs) drastically affect their evolution and final fate, but their mass-loss mechanism remains poorly understood. Various empirical pre…

Investigating episodic mass loss in evolved massive stars: II. Physical properties of red supergiants at subsolar metallicity
S. de Wit, A. Z. Bonanos, K. Antoniadis +8
Mass loss during the red supergiant (RSG) phase plays a crucial role in the evolution of an intermediate massive star, however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We aim to…
