First HARPSpol discoveries of magnetic fields in massive stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In the framework of the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, a HARPSpol Large Program at the 3.6m-ESO telescope has recently started to collect high-resolution spectropolarimetric data of a large number of Southern massive OB stars in the field of

Properties of massive stars in four clusters of the VVV survey

open access: yes, 2015
The evolution of massive stars is only partly understood. Observational constraints can be obtained from the study of massive stars located in young massive clusters.

Massive binaries and the enrichment of the interstellar medium in globular clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Abundance anomalies observed in globular cluster stars indicate pollution with material processed by hydrogen burning. Two main sources have been suggested: asymptotic giant branch stars and massive stars rotating near the break-up limit.

Evolution of Massive Population III Stars

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2014
While the evolution of massive stars in the local Universe is dominated by mass-loss, the evolution of massive Population III stars should be dominated by rotation.

Massive star formation: Nurture, not nature

open access: yes, 2004
We investigate the physical processes which lead to the formation of massive stars. Using a numerical simulation of the formation of a stellar cluster from a turbulent molecular cloud, we evaluate the relevant contributions of fragmentation and ...

Turbulence-supported Massive Star Envelopes

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Abstract The outer envelopes of massive (M ≳ 10 M ⊙) stars exhibit large increases in opacities from forests of lines and ionization transitions (particularly from iron and helium) that trigger near-surface convection zones.

Hypervelocity binary stars: smoking gun of massive binary black holes

open access: yes, 2007
The hypervelocity stars recently found in the Galactic halo are expelled from the Galactic center through interactions between binary stars and the central massive black hole or between single stars and a hypothetical massive binary black hole.

Massive Star Formation [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994
AbstractSeveral topics in massive star formation are discussed. These include chemical markers of the evolutionary state of massive protostellar cores, kinematic evidence for gravitational collapse, and studies of massive star formation in different environments.

Unveiling the Evolutionary State of Three B Supergiant Stars: PU Gem, ϵ CMa, and η CMa

open access: yesGalaxies, 2023
We aim to combine asteroseismology, spectroscopy, and evolutionary models to establish a comprehensive picture of the evolution of Galactic blue supergiant stars (BSG). To start such an investigation, we selected three BSG candidates for our analysis: HD
