Kostas has been actively working on determining the mass loss rate for Red Supergiants across various metallicities. We had plenty of these sources for NGC 6822 so it was natural to include them in a straight comparison with SMC, LMC and the Milky Way. However, each of these galaxies have …
This is a paper led by Kostas from the ASSESS team where we investigated the mass-loss in LMC/s RSGs. Interestingly this made its way to the astrobites site. Establishing a mass-loss rate relation for red supergiants in the Large Magellanic Cloud K. Antoniadis, A.Z. Bonanos, S. de Wit, E. Zapartas, …
Three poster contributions during EAS 2021 with the following … statistics: all of them on massive stars, two within the framework of the ASSESS project, and two on machine-learning applications. 1. Applying machine-learning methods to build a photometric classifier for massive stars in nearby galaxies Grigoris Maravelias, Alceste Bonanos, Frank …
Evolved Massive Stars at Low-metallicity III. A Source Catalog for the Large Magellanic Cloud Ming Yang, Alceste Z. Bonanos, Biwei Jiang, Jian Gao, Panagiotis Gavras, Grigoris Maravelias, Shu Wang, Xiao-Dian Chen, Man I Lam, Yi Ren, Frank Tramper, Zoi T. Spetsieri We present a clean, magnitude-limited (IRAC1 or WISE1≤15.0 mag) …
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 …
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 …
It seems that this question has no final answer yet. Although the recent models were claiming that no star bigger than 100-150 solar masses can exist, there is evidence that a star close to 300 solar masses exists in the Large Magellanic Cloud. One star, R136a1 (from the young cluster …
