Binary stars in the Galactic thick disc
The combination of asteroseismologically measured masses with abundances from detailed analyses of stellar atmospheres challenges our fundamental knowledge of...
Black-hole-regulated star formation in massive galaxies
Supermassive black holes, with masses more than a million times that of the Sun, seem to inhabit the centres of all massive galaxies. Cosmologically motivated...
Blue Luminous Stars in Nearby Galaxies—UIT 005: A Possible Link to the Luminous Blue Variable Stage
A detailed study of the blue supergiant UIT 005 (B2-2.5Ia+) in M 33 is presented. The results of our quantitative spectral analysis indicate that the star is a...
Blue supergiants as a progenitor of intermediate-luminosity red transients
The current perspective about the explosions of massive hydrogen-rich blue supergiants is that they resemble SN 1987A. These so-called peculiar Type II...
Bolometric Treatment of Irradiation Effects: General Discussion and Application to Binary Stars
A general framework for dealing with irradiation effects in the bolometric sense—specifically, reflection with heat absorption and the consequent redistribution...
Boron Abundances in Early B Dwarfs of the Galactic Open Cluster NGC 3293
New boron abundances or upper limits have been determined for eight early B stars in the young Galactic open cluster NGC 3293, using UV spectra obtained by the...
Boron depletion in Galactic early B-type stars reveals two different main sequence star populations
Context. The evolution and fate of massive stars are thought to be affected by rotationally induced internal mixing. The surface boron abundance is a sensitive...
Building galaxies, stars, planets and the ingredients for life between the stars. The science behind the European Ultraviolet-Visible Observatory
This contribution gathers the contents of the white paper submitted by the UV community to the Call issued by the European Space Agency in March 2013, for the...
C and N abundances of main sequence and subgiant branch stars in NGC 1851
We present the first chemical analysis of stars on the double subgiant branch (SGB) of the globular cluster NGC 1851. We obtained 48 Magellan IMACS spectra of...
