Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): Pipeline-Determined Physical Properties of OB Stars
J. M. Bestenlehner, Paul A. Crowther, V. A. Bronner +8
We aim to determine the physical properties of OB stars from the multi-epoch VLT/FLAMES BLOeM spectroscopic survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We apply a pipeline designed to an…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. XIII. Putting the bi-stability jump to the test in the LMC
T. Alkousa, P. A. Crowther, J. M. Bestenlehner +10
We aim to investigate the theoretical bi-stability jump, which predicts an increase in mass-loss rates below 21 kK. We further aim to constrain the photospheric and wind parameters…
Melnick 39 is a very massive intermediate-period colliding-wind binary
A. M. T. Pollock, P. A. Crowther, J. M. Bestenlehner +2
Individually identified binary systems of very massive stars define fixed points on possible evolutionary pathways that begin with extreme star formation and end in either coalesce…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23
Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: XI. Pipeline-determined Physical Properties of Magellanic Cloud OB Stars
J. M. Bestenlehner, P. A. Crowther, C. Hawcroft +5
The proximity & low dust extinction of the Magellanic Clouds provides an ideal environment for metal-poor massive stars to be studied in detail. The HST ULLYSES initiative has prov…
