The earliest O-type eclipsing binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud, AzV 476: A comprehensive analysis reveals surprisingly low stellar masses

D. Pauli, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann +7

Massive stars at low metallicity are among the main feedback agents in the early Universe and in present-day star forming galaxies. When in binaries, these stars are potential prog…

The excess of cool supergiants from contemporary stellar evolution models defies the metallicity-independent Humphreys-Davidson limit

Avishai Gilkis, Tomer Shenar, Varsha Ramachandran +5

The Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit empirically defines a region of high luminosities (log L > 5.5) and low effective temperatures (T < 20kK) on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram in wh…

Discovery of O stars in the tidal Magellanic Bridge: Stellar parameters, abundances, and feedback of the nearest metal-poor massive stars and their implication for the Magellanic System ecology

Varsha Ramachandran, L. M. Oskinova, W. -R. Hamann

The Magellanic Bridge stretching between the SMC and LMC is the nearest tidally stripped intergalactic environment and has a low average metallicity of . Here we re…

Phase-dependent study of near-infrared disk emission lines in LB-1

Jifeng Liu, Zheng Zheng, Roberto Soria +19

The mass, origin and evolutionary stage of the binary system LB-1 has been the subject of intense debate, following the claim that it hosts an 70 black hole, in st…

The Wolf-Rayet binaries of the nitrogen sequence in the Large Magellanic Cloud: spectroscopy, orbital analysis, formation, and evolution

T. Shenar, D. P. Sablowski, R. Hainich +11

Massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars dominate the radiative and mechanical energy budget of galaxies and probe a critical phase in the evolution of massive stars prior to core-collapse. I…

Testing massive star evolution, star-formation history and feedback at low metallicity : Spectroscopic analysis of OB stars in the SMC Wing

Varsha Ramachandran, W. -R. Hamann, L. M. Oskinova +6

Stars which start their lives with spectral types O and early-B are the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, long gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, and black holes. These massiv…
