Oxygen abundance of gamma Vel from [O III] 88um Herschel/PACS spectroscopy
Paul A Crowther, M J Barlow, P Royer +4
We present Herschel PACS spectroscopy of the [O III] 88.4um fine-structure line in the nearby WC8+O binary system gamma Vel to determine its oxygen abundance. The critical density…
Spectroscopic analysis of hot, massive stars in large spectroscopic surveys with de-idealised models
J. M. Bestenlehner, T. Enßlin, M. Bergemann +3
Upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys with e.g. WEAVE and 4MOST will provide thousands of spectra of massive stars, which need to be analysed in an efficient and homogeneous w…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description
Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78
Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. III. Terminal wind speeds of ULLYSES massive stars
C. Hawcroft, H. Sana, L. Mahy +26
The winds of massive stars have an impact on stellar evolution and on the surrounding medium. The maximum speed reached by these outflows, the terminal wind speed, is a global wind…
Extinction towards the cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud: An extinction law from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet
Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +4
The cluster R136 in the giant star-forming region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offers a unique opportunity to resolve a stellar population in a starburst-like env…
Line Luminosities of Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Wolf-Rayet stars
Paul A. Crowther, G. Rate, Joachim M. Bestenlehner
We provide line luminosities and spectroscopic templates of prominent optical emission lines of 133 Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars by exploiting Gaia DR3 parallaxes and optical spectrop…
