Red Supergiants as cosmic abundance probes: the first direct metallicity determination of NGC 4038 in the Antennae
C. Lardo, B. Davies, R-P. Kudritzki +5
We present a direct determination of the stellar metallicity in the close pair galaxy NGC~4038 (D = 20 Mpc) based on the quantitative analysis of moderate resolution KMOS/VLT spect…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: The Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300
J. Zachary Gazak, Rolf Kudritzki, Chris Evans +9
We present a quantitative spectroscopic study of twenty-seven red supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy NGC 300. J-band spectra were obtained using KMOS on the VLT and studied with st…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: The Magellanic Clouds
Ben Davies, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Zach Gazak +4
Red Supergiants (RSGs) are cool (~4000K), highly luminous stars (L - 10^5 Lsun), and are among the brightest near-infrared (NIR) sources in star-forming galaxies. This makes them p…
Red Supergiant Stars as Cosmic Abundance Probes: KMOS Observations in NGC 6822
L. R. Patrick, C. J. Evans, B. Davies +5
We present near-IR spectroscopy of red supergiant (RSG) stars in NGC 6822, obtained with the new VLT-KMOS instrument. From comparisons with model spectra in the J-band we determine…
