Semi-analytical Formulas for the Fundamental Parameters of Galactic Early B Supergiants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The publication of new tables of calibration of some fundamental parameters of Galactic B0-B5 supergiants in the two classes Ia and Ib allows to particularize the eight parameters conjecture that model five fundamental parameters. The numerical expressions for visual magnitude, radius, mass, luminosity and surface gravity are derived for supergiants in the range of temperature between 29700 K and 15200 K. The availability of accurate tables of calibration allows us to estimate the efficiency of the derived formulas in reproducing the observed values. The average efficiency of the new formulas, expressed in percent, is 94 for the visual magnitude, 81 for the mass, 96 for the radius, 99 for the logarithm of the luminosity and 97 for the logarithm of the surface gravity.

Physical Parameters and Wind Properties of Galactic Early B Supergiants
We present optical studies of the physical and wind properties, plus CNO chemical abundances, of 25 O9.5–B3 Galactic supergiants. We employ non-LTE, line blanketed, extended model atmospheres, which provide a modest downward revision in the effective temperature scale of early B supergiants of up to 1–2kK relative to previous non-blanketed results. The so-called ‘bistability jump’ at B1 (Teff ∼...
متن کاملTerminal velocities of luminous , early - type SMC stars
Ultraviolet spectra from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) are used to determine terminal velocities for 11 O and B-type giants and supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) from the Si IV and C IV resonance lines. Using archival data from observations with the Goddard High-Resolution Spectrograph and the InternationalUltraviolet Explorer telescope, terminal velocities are o...
متن کاملStis Uv Spectroscopy of Early B Supergiants in M31
We analyze STIS spectra in the 1150-1700 Å wavelength range obtained for six early B supergiants in the neighboring galaxy M31. Because of their likely high (nearly solar) abundance, these stars were originally chosen to be directly comparable to their Galactic counterparts, and represent a much-needed addition to our current sample of B-type supergiants, in our efforts to study the dependence ...
متن کاملAn analysis of STIS HST UV spectra of M33 early B supergiants
We present terminal velocities of M33 B-supergiants, obtained from STIS HST spectra as part of our programme to investigate the Wind Momentum – Luminosity Relationship (WLR) in the Local Group. Terminal velocities are derived from their N V, C IV, and Si IV resonance lines in UV spectra. Comparing with IUE spectra of Galactic B-supergiants we found evidence of low metallicity in three of our ob...
متن کاملQuantitative Spectral Analysis of Early B-type Supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy Ngc 300
The spectra of two early B-type supergiant stars in the Sculptor spiral galaxy NGC 300 are analysed by means of non-LTE line blanketed unified model atmospheres, aimed at determining their chemical composition and the fundamental stellar and wind parameters. For the first time a detailed chemical abundance pattern (He, C, N, O, Mg and Si) is obtained for a B-type supergiant beyond the Local Gro...
