Stellar Properties of Observed Stars Stripped in Binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Massive stars (∼8–25 M _⊙ ) stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes via binary interaction are thought to be the main progenitors for merging neutron stars and stripped-envelope supernovae.

Lithium in Kepler Red Giants: Defining Normal and Anomalous
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The orders-of-magnitude variations in the lithium abundances of evolved stars have long been a puzzle. Diluted signals, ambiguous evolutionary states, and unknown masses have made it challenging to both map the expected lithium signals and explain the ...

Mass Distribution for Single-lined Hot Subdwarf Stars in LAMOST
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Masses for 664 single-lined hot subdwarf stars identified in LAMOST were calculated by comparing synthetic fluxes from spectral energy distribution with observed fluxes from a Virtual Observatory service.

HST spectroscopy of chemically peculiar hot subdwarfs: PG 0909+276 and UVO0512–08
Open Astronomy, 2017 High-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy of two chemically peculiar hot subdwarfs, PG 0909+276 and UVO0512-08, has been obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hot subdwarf stars from the Hamburg Quasar Survey
Astronomy & AstrophysicsHot subluminous stars (subdwarf B&O; sdB, sdO) are evolved low mass stars originating from red giants that lost their envelope almost entirely. The multitude of observed phenomena imply that several pathways may form hot subdwarfs, most involving close ...

The Arizona-Montréal Spectroscopic Survey of hot subluminous stars★
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Hot subdwarf B (sdB) and O (sdO) type stars are evolved helium-burning objects that lost their hydrogen envelope before the helium flash when their progenitors were close to the tip of the red giant branch (RGB).

Chemical fingerprints of He-sdO stars
Open Astronomy, 2018 The chemical composition of helium-rich hot subluminous O stars plays an important role to understand and model their formation history. We present a spectroscopic analysis of four He-sdO stars,CD-31° 4800, [CW83] 0904- 02, LSS 1274 and LS IV +10° 9. The

Envelope loss of RGB/AGB stars and the formation of hot subdwarfs
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Low mass stars may lose their envelopes in the first giant branch (RGB) or the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) via envelope ejection (i.e. superwind). The envelope loss of AGB stars leads to the formation of carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs), while the

Astronomy & AstrophysicsStellar wind mass loss of massive stars is often assumed to depend on their metallicity Z. Therefore, evolutionary models predict that massive stars in lower-Z environments are able to retain more of their hydrogen-rich layers and evolve into brighter ...
