Massive star feedback - from the first stars to the present
Jorick S. Vink
The amount of mass loss is of fundamental importance to the lives and deaths of very massive stars, the input of chemical elements and momentum into the interstellar and intergalac…
The clumpiness of Luminous Blue Variable winds
Ben Davies, Rene D. Oudmaijer, Jorick S. Vink
We present the first systematic spectropolarimetric study of Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), and find that at least half those objects studied display evidence for intrinsic polari…
Near-infrared line spectropolarimetry of hot massive stars
R. D. Oudmaijer, J. E. Drew, J. S. Vink
In order to study the inner parts of the circumstellar material around optically faint, infrared bright objects, we present the first medium-resolution spectropolarimetric data tak…
On the metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet winds
Jorick S. Vink, Alex de Koter
We have performed a pilot study of mass loss predictions for late-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars as a function of metal abundance, over a range between 10^{-5} < (Z/Zsun) < 10. We find…
The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS)
Janet E. Drew, R. Greimel, M. J. Irwin +1
The INT Photometric Halpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 square degrees CCD survey of the northern Milky Way spanning the latitude range -5 < b < +5 (degr…
On the origin of the X-ray emission towards the early Herbig Be star MWC 297
Jorick S. Vink, Paul M. O'Neill, Sebastian G. Els +1
We present high resolution AO-corrected coronographic near-infrared imaging on the early-type Herbig Be star MWC 297. X-ray flaring has been reported towards this young object, how…
