The evolution of massive binary systems [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2020 The evolution of massive stars in close binary systems is significantly different from single star evolution due to a series of interactions between the two stellar components.

Eta Carinae: The Dissipating Occulter Is an Extended Structure
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Previous Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) longslit observations of Eta Carinae ( η Car) identified numerous absorption features in both the stellar spectrum, and in the adjacent nebular spectra, along our line of ...

Yellow Supergiants and Post-red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The empirical evidence for an upper-mass limit for the red supergiant (RSG) progenitors of the Type II-P SNe at about 18 MSun, raises questions about the fate of the most luminous, most massive RSGs.

Early-forming Massive Stars Suppress Star Formation and Hierarchical Cluster Assembly
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Feedback from massive stars plays an important role in the formation of star clusters. Whether a very massive star is born early or late in the cluster formation timeline has profound implications for the star cluster formation and assembly processes. We

Massive Hypervelocity Runaway Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Since the hypervelocity stars were discovered in the Milky Way, various mechanisms have been proposed to explain these runaway stars. Up to now, however, the dominant ejected mechanism of hypervelocity stars is still unclear.

Nucleonic Direct Urca Processes and Cooling of the Massive Neutron Star by Antikaon Condensations
Advances in Astronomy, 2020 Nucleonic direct Urca processes and cooling of the massive neutron stars are studied by considering antikaon condensations. Calculations are performed in the relativistic mean field and isothermal interior approximations.

Massive Stars as the Radiant Queens of the Universe—The Case of ζ Puppis
Universe, 2022 Since the Cosmic Dawn, massive stars have been playing a crucial role as the chemical recycling engines of galaxies that enable the birth of new stars and planetary systems, not only through the strong winds that they exhibit during their relatively ...

Asteroseismology of High-Mass Stars: New Insights of Stellar Interiors With Space Telescopes
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 Massive stars are important metal factories in the Universe. They have short and energetic lives, and many of them inevitably explode as a supernova and become a neutron star or black hole.

Observational Properties of 155 O- and B-type Massive Pulsating Stars
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 O- and B-type (OB-type) pulsating stars are important objects for studying the structure and evolution of massive stars through asteroseismology. A large amount of data from various sky surveys provides an unprecedented opportunity to search for and ...
