Where are the binaries? -- Searching for blue horizontal-branch stars in binary systems in the inner Galactic Halo
R. Culpan, M. Dorsch, I. Pelisoli +14
Blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars are evolved low-mass objects that have completed their core hydrogen burning main-sequence (MS) stage and have lost significant mass during the r…
Determining stellar properties of massive stars in NGC346 in the SMC with a Bayesian statistic technique
M. J. Rickard, R. Hainich, D. Pauli +8
NGC 346 is a young cluster with numerous hot OB stars. It is part of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), and has an average metallicity that is one-seventh of the Milky Way's. A deta…
Stellar wind properties of the nearly complete sample of O stars in the low metallicity young star cluster NGC346 in the SMC galaxy
M. J. Rickard, R. Hainich, W. -R. Hamann +9
Massive stars are among the main cosmic engines driving the evolution of star-forming galaxies. Their powerful ionising radiation and stellar winds inject a large amount of energy…
The stellar and wind parameters of six prototypical HMXBs and their evolutionary status
R. Hainich, L. M. Oskinova, J. M. Torrejón +7
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are exceptional astrophysical laboratories that offer a rare glimpse into the physical processes that govern accretion on compact objects, massive-…
The Wolf-Rayet binaries of the nitrogen sequence in the Large Magellanic Cloud: spectroscopy, orbital analysis, formation, and evolution
T. Shenar, D. P. Sablowski, R. Hainich +11
Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core-collapse. I…
Testing massive star evolution, star-formation history and feedback at low metallicity : Spectroscopic analysis of OB stars in the SMC Wing
Varsha Ramachandran, W. -R. Hamann, L. M. Oskinova +6
Stars which start their lives with spectral types O and early-B are the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, long gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, and black holes. These massiv…
