The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. III. The most massive stars and their clumped winds
Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +17
Context: The star cluster R136 inside the LMC hosts a rich population of massive stars, including the most massive stars known. The strong stellar winds of these very luminous star…
Closing gaps to our origins. The UV window into the Universe
Ana I. Gomez de Castro, Martin A. Barstow, Fréderic Baudin +23
The investigation of the emergence of life is a major endeavour of science. Astronomy is contributing to it in three fundamental manners: (1) by measuring the chemical enrichment o…
On the nature of the WO3 star DR1 in IC 1613
F. Tramper, G. Gräfener, O. E. Hartoog +8
We present the results of a quantitative spectroscopic analysis of the oxygen-sequence Wolf- Rayet star DR1 in the low-metallicity galaxy IC 1613. Our models suggest that the stron…
Massive Stars: Key to Solving the Cosmic Puzzle
Aida Wofford, Claus Leitherer, Nolan R. Walborn +8
We describe observations in the nearby universe (<100 Mpc) with a 10-m or larger space-based telescope having imaging and spectral capabilities in the range 912-9000 Åthat would en…
