Betelgeuse, the nearest red supergiant, dimmed to an unprecedented level in early 2020. The star emerged from this “Great Dimming” episode with its typical, roughly 400 days pulsation cycle halved, and a new dominant period of around 200 days.

Red Supergiants in the Local Group
Galaxies in the Local Group span a factor of 15 in metallicity, ranging from the super-solar M31 to the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte (WLM) galaxy, which is the lowest-metallicity (0.1xZsun) Local Group galaxy currently forming stars.

Micritisation products in the inner ramp settings of the Abu Dhabi Lagoon
Journey inside carbonate grains; internal microstructures of micritic envelopes and peloids in the Abu Dhabi lagoon. Abstract In numerous carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East, peloidal packstone‐grainstones are rock types with excellent pore storage potential in micritised microporous grains.

Tomography of the red supergiant star μ Cep
AbstractA tomographic method, aiming at probing velocity fields at depth in stellar atmospheres, is applied to the red supergiant star μ Cep and to snapshots of 3D radiative-hydrodynamics simulation in order to constrain atmospheric motions and relate them to photometric variability.

Red supergiants as supernova progenitors [PDF]
AbstractRecent searches for supernova II-P progenitors in external galaxies have led to the identification of red objects with magnitudes and colours indicative of red supergiants, in most cases implying quite low luminosities, and hence masses. Current results would suggest that all explosions come from objects less massive than ~ 18 M⊙ and that some ...

Molecules and Chemistry in Red Supergiants
The envelopes of Red Supergiants (RSGs) have a unique chemical environment not seen in other types of stars. They foster an oxygen-rich synthesis but are tempered by sporadic and chaotic mass loss, which distorts the envelope and creates complex outflow ...

Vibrational Relaxation of D2O Induced by Collision with He: A Rigid Bender Close Coupling Study
The vibrational quenching cross sections for the relaxation of the D2O (ν2=1,3ka,kc) molecule by collision with He are presented. A monotonic increase of the cross sections is observed for high collision energies. Abstract The vibrational relaxation of the first excited bending state of D2O induced by collision with He is studied at the close coupling ...

Red Supergiant Mass Loss and Mass-Loss Rates
This review discusses the causes, nature, importance and observational evidence of mass loss by red supergiants. It arrives at the perception that mass loss finds its origin in the gravity which makes the star a star in the first place, and is a ...

Mass loss in red supergiants (RSGs) is generally recognized to be episodic, but mass-loss prescriptions fail to reflect this. Evolutionary models show that the total amount of mass lost in this phase determines if these stars evolve to warmer ...

Yellow and Red Supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Due to their transitionary nature, yellow supergiants provide a critical challenge for evolutionary modeling. Previous studies within M31 and the SMC show that the Geneva evolutionary models do a poor job at predicting the lifetimes of these short-lived ...
