A new candidate Luminous Blue Variable
Donald F. Figer, Francisco Najarro, Maria Messineo +2
We identify IRAS 16115-5044, which was previously classified as a protoplanetary nebula (PPN), as a candidate luminous blue variable (LBV). The star has high luminosity (>10$^{5.75…
Massive Stars in Molecular Clouds Rich in High-energy Sources: The Bridge of G332.809-0.132 and CS 78 in NGC 6334
Maria Messineo, Karl M. Menten, Donald F. Figer +1
Detections of massive stars in the direction of the H II region CS 78 in NGC 6334 and of G332.809-0.132 are here presented. The region covered by the G332.809-0.132 complex coincid…
A new mass-loss rate prescription for red supergiants
Emma R. Beasor, Ben Davies, Nathan Smith +3
Evolutionary models have shown the substantial effect that strong mass-loss rates () can have on the fate of massive stars. Red supergiant (RSG) mass-loss is poorly unders…
