Cosmic evolution and metal aversion in super-luminous supernova host galaxies
S. Schulze, T. Krühler, G. Leloudas +21
The SUperluminous Supernova Host galaxIES (SUSHIES) survey aims to provide strong new constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) by understanding the relati…
VLTI-AMBER velocity-resolved aperture-synthesis imaging of Eta Carinae with a spectral resolution of 12000. Studies of the primary star wind and innermost wind-wind collision
G. Weigelt, K. -H. Hofmann, D. Schertl +26
Context. The mass loss from massive stars is not understood well. Eta Car is a unique object for studying the massive stellar wind during the LBV phase. It is also an eccentric bin…
The LBV HR Car has a partner: Discovery of a companion with the VLTI
Henri M. J. Boffin, Thomas Rivinius, Antoine Merand +6
Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs) are massive stars caught in a post-main sequence phase, during which they are losing a significant amount of mass. As, on one hand, it is thought tha…
450 Days of Type II SN 2013ej in Optical and Near-Infrared
Fang Yuan, A. Jerkstrand, S. Valenti +31
We present optical and near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2013ej, in galaxy M74, from 1 to 450 days after the explosion. SN 2013ej is a hydrogen-rich su…
Interacting supernovae and supernova impostors. LSQ13zm: an outburst heralds the death of a massive star
L. Tartaglia, A. Pastorello, M. Sullivan +37
We report photometric and spectroscopic observations of the optical transient LSQ13zm. Historical data reveal the presence of an eruptive episode (that we label as `2013a') followe…
Short-term variability and mass loss in Be stars I. BRITE satellite photometry of and Centauri
D. Baade, Th. Rivinius, A. Pigulski +13
Empirical evidence for the involvement of nonradial pulsations (NRP's) in the mass loss from Be stars ranges from (i) a singular case (\object{ Cen}) of repetitive mass ejection…
