Modelling and observations of molecules in discs around young stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This thesis contains a study of molecules within circumstellar discs around young stars. Firstly, the chemistry of a disc around a young, Class 0 protostar is modelled.

Eta Carinae: The Dissipating Occulter Is an Extended Structure

open access: yesThe 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 ...

The evolution of massive binary systems [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian 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.

Yellow Supergiants and Post-red Supergiant Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud

open access: yesThe 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.

Nucleonic Direct Urca Processes and Cooling of the Massive Neutron Star by Antikaon Condensations

open access: yesAdvances 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.

X-ray emission from massive stars: lessons learned and remaining mysteries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Nearly all types of massive stars are known to display X-ray emission at some level. Tremendous insight into this phenomenon has been gained thanks to the sensitivity of the current generation of X-ray satellites and X-ray observations are nowadays an ...

Early-forming Massive Stars Suppress Star Formation and Hierarchical Cluster Assembly

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesThe 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.

Massive Stars as the Radiant Queens of the Universe—The Case of ζ Puppis

open access: yesUniverse, 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 ...

The Complex Upper HR Diagram

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
Several decades of observations of the most massive and most luminous stars have revealed a complex upper HR Diagram, shaped by mass loss, and inhabited by a variety of evolved stars exhibiting the consequences of their mass loss histories.
