On the missing second generation AGB stars in NGC6752
Santi Cassisi, Maurizio Salaris, Adriano Pietrinferni +2
[Abridged] In recent years the view of Galactic globular clusters as simple stellar populations has changed dramatically, as it is now thought that basically all GCs host multiple…
Luminous Blue Variables and superluminous supernovae from binary mergers
Stephen Justham, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Jorick S. Vink
Evidence suggests that the direct progenitor stars of some core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are luminous blue variables (LBVs), perhaps including some `superluminous supernovae' (S…
Internal entrainment and the origin of jet-related broad-band emission in Centaurus A
Sarka Wykes, Martin J. Hardcastle, Amanda I. Karakas +1
The dimensions of Fanaroff-Riley class I jets and the stellar densities at galactic centres imply that there will be numerous interactions between the jet and stellar winds. These…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVII. Physical and wind properties of massive stars at the top of the main sequence
Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Götz Gräfener, Jorick S. Vink +12
The evolution and fate of very massive stars (VMS) is tightly connected to their mass-loss properties. Their initial and final masses differ significantly as a result of mass loss.…
Mass-loss rates of Very Massive Stars
Jorick S. Vink
We discuss the basic physics of hot-star winds and we provide mass-loss rates for (very) massive stars. Whilst the emphasis is on theoretical concepts and line-force modelling, we…
Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink
Recent studies suggest the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical stel…
