X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity: XII. The clumped winds of O-type (super)giants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Sarah A. Brands, Frank Backs, Alex de Koter +23

Mass loss governs the evolution of massive stars and shapes the stellar surroundings. To quantify the impact of the stellar winds we need to know the exact mass-loss rates; however…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description

Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78

Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. III. Terminal wind speeds of ULLYSES massive stars

C. Hawcroft, H. Sana, L. Mahy +26

The winds of massive stars have an impact on stellar evolution and on the surrounding medium. The maximum speed reached by these outflows, the terminal wind speed, is a global wind…

Discrete Absorption Components from 3-D spot models of hot star winds

F. A. Driessen, N. D. Kee

The winds of hot, massive stars are variable from processes happening on both large and small spatial scales. A particular case of such wind variability is 'discrete-absorption com…

Method and new tabulations for flux-weighted line-opacity and radiation line-force in supersonic media

L. G. Poniatowski, N. D. Kee, J. O. Sundqvist +7

In accelerating and supersonic media, the interaction of photons with spectral lines can be of ultimate importance. However, fully accounting for such line forces currently can onl…

First 3D Radiation-Hydrodynamic Simulations of Wolf-Rayet Winds

N. Moens, L. G. Poniatowski, L. Hennicker +3

Classical Wolf Rayet (WR) stars are direct supernova progenitors undergoing vigorous mass-loss. Understanding the dense and fast outflows of such WR stars is thus crucial for under…
