Physical parameters and wind properties of galactic early B supergiants

open access: yes, 2006
We present optical studies of the physical and wind properties, plus CNO chemical abundances, of 25 O9.5–B3 Galactic supergiants. We employ non-LTE, line blanketed, extended model atmospheres, which provide a modest downward revision in the effective

ALMA high-resolution observations of Betelgeuse: Persistent structure spanning the inner atmosphere

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The extended atmosphere of red supergiants (RSGs) forms an important link in the process of mass loss and the subsequent enrichment of the interstellar medium.

XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Peculiar early-type supergiants and LBVs: resemblance and difference [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Peculiar early-type supergiants (hereafter PETS) have been distinguished from normal ones because of stronger emission lines in their spectra. This is a result of different stellar wing kinematics: PETS have slower winds with low terminal velocities ...

Disk Tracing for B[e] Supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds

open access: yes, 2015
B[e] supergiants are evolved massive stars with a complex circumstellar environment. A number of important emission features probe the structure and the kinematics of the circumstellar material. In our survey of Magellanic Cloud B[e] supergiants we focus

Infrared photometry and mass loss rates for OBA supergiants and Of stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
We present infrared observations of 34 OBA supergiants and 10 Of and Oe stars. Excess free- free emission is detectable at 10 m but not at shorter wavelengths for the supergiants.

Understanding A-type supergiants - II. Atmospheric parameters and rotational velocities of galactic A-type supergiants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We present the second paper of a series whose aim is to perform a global study of Galactic A-supergiants. Very little work has been carried out to determine the stellar parameters of these stars.

Constraining young massive cluster properties with radio-continuum observations: The Arches cluster

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The Arches cluster, located in the Galactic Centre (GC) is one of the best astrophysical laboratories to study the properties of massive stars and young massive clusters (YMCs).

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).
