Properties of luminous red supergiant stars in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2023
Context. There is evidence that some red supergiants (RSGs) experience short-lived phases of extreme mass loss, producing copious amounts of dust. These episodic outburst phases help strip the hydrogen envelope from evolved massive stars, drastically affecting their evolution.

Atmospheric dynamics and the mass loss process in red supergiant stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2007
Red supergiant stars represent a key phase in the evolution of massive stars. Recent radiative hydrodynamic simulations suggest that their atmospheres may be the location of large-scale convective motions. As supergiant convection is expected to generate supersonic motions and shocks, we seek constraints on these atmospheric motions and their possible ...

Measuring surface magnetic fields of red supergiant stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2017
Context.Red supergiant (RSG) stars are very massive cool evolved stars. Recently, a weak magnetic field was measured at the surface ofαOri and this is so far the only M-type supergiant for which a direct detection of a surface magnetic field has been reported.Aims.By extending the search for surface magnetic field in a sample of late-type supergiants ...

Vigorous atmospheric motion in the red supergiant star Antares [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Red supergiant stars represent a late stage of the evolution of stars more massive than about nine solar masses, in which they develop complex, multi-component atmospheres. Bright spots have been detected in the atmosphere of red supergiants using interferometric imaging. Above the photosphere of a red supergiant, the molecular outer atmosphere extends

Near-infrared spectroscopy of candidate red supergiant stars in clusters

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2014
Context. Clear identifications of Galactic young stellar clusters farther than a few kpc from the Sun are rare, despite the large number of candidate clusters. Aims.

The dust condensation sequence in red supergiant stars

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2009
Context: Red supergiant (RSG) stars exhibit significant mass loss by means of a slow, dense wind. They are often considered to be the more massive counterparts of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars.

The Temperatures of Red Supergiants: how cool are the coolest massive stars?

EAS Publications Series, 2013
We have re-appraised the temperatures of Red Supergiants (RSGs) in the Magellanic Clouds, by studying their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 400-2500 nm using VLT+XSHOOTER, in conjunction with MARCS model atmospheres. We determine temperatures using 3 methods: from model fits to the TiO bands in the optical; from model fits to the SED using ...

Interacting supernovae from photoionization-confined shells around red supergiant stars

open access: yesNature, 2014
Betelgeuse, a nearby red supergiant, is a runaway star with a powerful stellar wind that drives a bow shock into its surroundings. This picture has been challenged by the discovery of a dense and almost static shell that is three times closer to the star
