The physical origin of the maximum stellar size
Gautham N. Sabhahit, Jorick S. Vink
The authors explain the observed maximum radius of the most massive stars as a result of a transition to an Eddington‑enhanced mass‑loss regime, reproducing the Humphreys‑Davidson…
Hydrodynamical mass-loss rates for very massive stars II. New theoretical mass-loss predictions at solar metallicity (Z = 0.02)
Gautham N. Sabhahit, Jorick S. Vink, Andreas A. C. Sander
The paper presents a new theoretical prescription for mass loss in very massive stars, based on a large grid of hydrodynamically consistent wind models that capture the dependence…
Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73
The BLOeM campaign presents the first large‑scale spectroscopic survey of 929 massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, revealing a high intrinsic binary fraction (>70%) among m…
The winds of OBA hypergiants and luminous blue variables: Dynamically-consistent atmosphere models reveal multiple wind regimes
Matheus Bernini-Peron, Andreas A. C. Sander, Gautham N. Sabhahit +3
OBA hypergiants (OBAHGs) are evolved massive stars with notable wind features in their optical spectrum. Located at the cool edge of the line-driven wind regime, many are candidate…
Hydrodynamical mass-loss rates for Very Massive Stars. I. Investigating the wind kink
Gautham N. Sabhahit, Jorick S. Vink, Andreas A. C. Sander
Radiation-driven winds are ubiquitous in massive stars, but in Very Massive Stars (VMSs), mass loss dominates their evolution, chemical yields, and ultimate fate. Theoretical predi…
Metal-poor single Wolf-Rayet stars: The interplay of optically thick winds and rotation
Lumen Boco, Michela Mapelli, Andreas A. C. Sander +7
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts 12 known Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, seven of which are apparently single. Their formation is a challenge for current stellar evolution models bec…
