Simulating the formation of Carinae's surrounding nebula through unstable triple evolution and stellar merger-induced eruption
Ryosuke Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Stanley P. Owocki +2
Carinae is an extraordinary massive star famous for its 19th century Great Eruption and the surrounding Homunculus nebula ejected in that event. The cause of this eruption has…
The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. II. Physical properties of the most massive stars in R136
Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Paul A. Crowther, Saida M. Caballero-Nieves +11
We present an optical analysis of 55 members of R136, the central cluster in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our sample was observed with STIS aboard the Hubble…
Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD
Aldo Serenelli, Achim Weiss, Conny Aerts +31
The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characteriza…
The Art of Modeling Stellar Mergers and the Case of the B[e] Supergiant R4 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Samantha Wu, Rosa Wallace Everson, Fabian R. N. Schneider +2
Most massive stars exchange mass with a companion, leading to evolution which is altered drastically from that expected of stars in isolation. Such systems are the result of unusua…
