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 …
Soon after the first paper of the BLOeM collaboration (describing the survey) another two papers followed on the multiplicity properties of specific populations. In one of them, led by Julia Bodensteiner and Tomer Shenra, we looked into the multiplicity properties of the OBe population in the SMC. This is of …
This is the first paper of the “Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM)” collaboration which targets to obtain spectra for about 1000 massive stars in the SMC! Apart from being an extremely interesting project it really matches many of the sources I have been working with in the SMC. So perfect …
