Infrared Photometry of Red Supergiants in Young Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds
We present broad-band infrared photometry for 52 late-type supergiants in the young Magellanic Clouds clusters NGC 330, NGC 1818, NGC 2004 and NGC 2100. Standard models are seen to differ in the temperature they predict for the red supergiant population on the order of 300K. It appears that these differences most probably due to the calibration of the mixing-length parameter, αP , in the outerm...
متن کاملThe production of dust in the Magellanic Clouds
The sensitivity of the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope has enabled detailed surveys of mass-losing stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. Comparisons of samples from these galaxies and the Milky Way reveal how the dust produced by evolved stars depends on the metallicity of the host environment. Oxygen-rich stars show several trends with metallicity. In more metal-...
متن کاملDense Star-forming Gas and Dust in the Magellanic Clouds
The early stages of the star formation process are closely related to the condition of the parent interstellar medium, in particular to the heating/cooling balance, which itself is a function of ambient conditions. Important questions such as dust abundance, size distribution, temperature distribution, fraction of molecular gas, fraction of dense gas, gas surface density and total amount of gas...
متن کاملRed supergiants around the obscured open cluster Stephenson 2 , ⋆
Context. Several clusters of red supergiants have been discovered in a small region of the Milky Way close to the base of the ScutumCrux Arm and the tip of the Long Bar. Population synthesis models indicate that they must be very massive to harbour so many supergiants. Amongst these clusters, Stephenson 2, with a core grouping of 26 red supergiants, is a strong candidate to be the most massive ...
متن کاملS 111 and the polarization of the B [ e ] supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds ⋆
We have obtained linear polarization measurements of the Large Magellanic Cloud B[e] supergiant S 111 using optical imaging polarimetry. The intrinsic polarization found is consistent with the presence of an axisymmetric circumstellar envelope. We have additionally estimated the electron density for S 111 using data from the literature and revisited the correlation between polarization and enve...
