A new outburst of the yellow hypergiant star Rho Cas Michaela Kraus, Indrek Kolka, Anna Aret, Dieter H. Nickeler, Grigoris Maravelias, Tõnis Eenmäe, Alex Lobel, Valentina G. Klochkova Yellow hypergiants are evolved massive stars that were suggested to be in post-red supergiant stage. Post-red supergiants that evolve back to the …
During the XXXth General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (in Vienna, Austria) I participated in a number of different meetings. In particular: 1. A poster at the IAU Focus Meeting FM14 on IAU’s role on global astronomy outreach, the latest challenges and bridging different communities (August 23, 2018): “A …
Resolving the clumpy circumstellar environment of the B[e] supergiant LHA 120-S 35 Andrea F. Torres, Lydia S. Cidale, Michaela Kraus, María L. Arias, Rodolfo H. Barbá, Grigoris Maravelias, Marcelo Borges Fernandes B[e] supergiants (SGs) are massive post-main-sequence stars, surrounded by a complex circumstellar (CS) environment. The aim of this work …
The distribution and ages of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Constraints on the interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds T. Bitsakis, R. A. Gonzalez-Lopezlira, P. Bonfini, G. Bruzual, G. Maravelias, D. Zaritsky, S. Charlot, V. H. Ramirez-Siordia We present a new study of the spatial distribution and ages …
A new era, of multi-messenger astronomy (combining gravitational waves, particles, photons), has been born today. LIGO/VIRGO plus 70 teams around the world announced the first detection of colliding neutron stars, which means that a gravitational wave detection (GW170817) triggered the observations using almost everything available (from gamma rays to radio …
Resolving the circumstellar environment of the Galactic B[e] supergiant star MWC 137 from large to small scales Michaela Kraus, Tiina Liimets, Cristina E. Cappa, Lydia S. Cidale, Dieter H. Nickeler, Nicolas U. Duronea, Maria L. Arias, Diah S. Gunawan, Mary E. Oksala, Marcelo Borges Fernandes, Grigoris Maravelias, Michel Cure, Miguel …
A novel method to automatically detect and measure the ages of star clusters in nearby galaxies: Application to the Large Magellanic Cloud T. Bitsakis, P. Bonfini, R. A. Gonzalez-Lopezlira, V. H. Ramirez-Siordia, G. Bruzual, S. Charlot, G. Maravelias, D. Zaritsky We present our new, fully-automated method to detect and measure …
Our most recent work comes as a proceedings paper for the conference “Stars: from collapse to collapse” (Special Astrophysical Observatory, Nizhnij Arkhyz, Karachai-Cherkessian Republic, Russia, 3-7 October 2016): The yellow hypergiant – B[e] supergiant connection A. Aret, M. Kraus, I. Kolka, G. Maravelias B[e] supergiants and yellow hypergiants share a …
Finally after almost a year, our proceedings paper on the B[e] supergiant LHA 120-S 73 is out! It is based on a poster (2015-58aaa-torres-s73) presented on the 58th Annual Meeting of the Argentinian Astronomical Society (La Plata, Argentina, Sep 14-18, 2015) and connected also with our last refereed paper. Exploring …
Inhomogeneous molecular ring around the B[e] supergiant LHA 120-S 73 M. Kraus, L.S. Cidale, M.L. Arias, G. Maravelias, D.H. Nickeler, A.F. Torres, M. Borges Fernandes, A. Aret, M. Cure, R. Vallverdu, R.H. Barba We aim to improve our knowledge on the structure and dynamics of the circumstellar disk of the …
