Quantitative spectral analysis of the sdB star HD 188112: a helium-core white dwarf progenitor
M. Latour, U. Heber, A. Irrgang +7
HD 188112 is a bright (V = 10.2 mag) hot subdwarf B (sdB) star with a mass too low to ignite core helium burning and is therefore considered as a pre-extremely low mass (ELM) white…

The fastest unbound star in our Galaxy ejected by a thermonuclear supernova
S. Geier, F. Fürst, E. Ziegerer +17
Hypervelocity stars (HVS) travel with velocities so high, that they exceed the escape velocity of the Galaxy. Several acceleration mechanisms have been discussed. Only one HVS (US…

Hot subdwarfs - Small stars marking important events in stellar evolution
S. Geier
Hot subdwarfs are considered to be the compact helium cores of red giants, which lost almost their entire hydrogen envelope. What causes this enormous mass loss is still unclear. B…
