A Runaway Giant in the Galactic Halo
Philip Massey, Stephen E. Levine, Kathryn F. Neugent +3
New evidence provided by the Gaia satellite places the location of the runaway star J01020100-7122208 in the halo of the Milky Way (MW) rather than in the Small Magellanic Cloud as…
Shedding Light on the Isolation of Luminous Blue Variables
Erin Aadland, Philip Massey, Kathryn F. Neugent +1
In the standard view of massive star evolution, luminous blue variables (LBVs) are transitional objects between the most massive O-type stars and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. With short…
Binary Red Supergiants: A New Method for Detecting B-type Companions
Kathryn F. Neugent, Emily M. Levesque, Phil Massey
With the exception of a few well-known and studied systems, the binary population of red supergiants (RSGs) remains relatively uncharacterized. Famous systems such as VV Cep, 31 Cy…
A Modern Search for Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Magellanic Clouds. IV. A Final Census
Kathryn F. Neugent, Philip Massey, Nidia Morrell
We summarize the results of our four year survey searching for Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Over the course of this s…
A Runaway Yellow Supergiant Star in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Kathryn Neugent, Philip Massey, Nidia Morrell +2
We recently discovered a yellow supergiant (YSG) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with a heliocentric radial velocity of ~300 km/s which is much larger than expected for a star…
