The effect of mass loss in models of red supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
E. Zapartas, S. de Wit, K. Antoniadis +16
The rate and mechanism of mass loss of red supergiants (RSGs) remain poorly understood, especially at low metallicities. Motivated by the new empirical prescription by Yang et al.…
Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC
T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74
Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at low metallicity II. DR1: Advanced optical data products for the Magellanic Clouds
H. Sana, F. Tramper, M. Abdul-Masih +34
Using the medium resolution spectrograph X-shooter, spectra of 235 OB and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in sub-solar metallicity environments have been secured. [...]This second paper focu…
Investigating episodic mass loss in evolved massive stars: II. Physical properties of red supergiants at subsolar metallicity
S. de Wit, A. Z. Bonanos, K. Antoniadis +8
Mass loss during the red supergiant (RSG) phase plays a crucial role in the evolution of an intermediate massive star, however, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We aim to…
Establishing a mass-loss rate relation for red supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Antoniadis, A. Z. Bonanos, S. de Wit +3
The high mass-loss rates of red supergiants (RSGs) drastically affect their evolution and final fate, but their mass-loss mechanism remains poorly understood. Various empirical pre…
