PoWR grids of non-LTE model atmospheres for OB-type stars of various metallicities

R. Hainich, V. Ramachandran, T. Shenar +5

The study of massive stars in different metallicity environments is a central topic of current stellar research. The spectral analysis of massive stars requires adequate model atmo…

The extreme O-type spectroscopic binary HD 93129A

D. Gruner, R. Hainich, A. A. C. Sander +6

HD 93129A was classified as the earliest O-type star in the Galaxy (O2~If*) and is considered as the prototype of its spectral class. However, interferometry shows that this object…

The Galactic WC and WO stars: The impact of revised distances from Gaia DR2 and their role as massive black hole progenitors

Andreas A. C. Sander, Wolf-Rainer Hamann, Helge Todt +4

Wolf-Rayet stars of the carbon sequence (WC stars) are an important cornerstone in the late evolution of massive stars before their core collapse. As core-helium burning, hydrogen-…

The Shortest-period Wolf-Rayet binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Part of a high-order multiple system

T. Shenar, R. Hainich, H. Todt +8

SMC AB 6 is the shortest-period (6.5d) Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud, and is therefore crucial for the study of binary interaction and formation of WR stars…

Stellar population of the superbubble N206 in the LMC II. Parameters of the OB and WR stars, and the total massive star feedback

Varsha Ramachandran, W. -R. Hamann, R. Hainich +5

Clusters or associations of early-type stars are often associated with a 'superbubble' of hot gas. The formation of such superbubbles is caused by the feedback from massive stars.…
