Context. IRC+10420 is a massive evolved star belonging to the group of yellow hypergiants. Currently, this star is rapidly evolving through the Hertzprung-Russell diagram, crossing the so-called yellow void. IRC+10420 is suffering from intensive mass loss which led to the formation of an extended dust shell. Moreover, the dense stellar wind of IRC+10420 is subject to strong line emission. Aims....

A typo has been found in our paper [1]. It is stated on page 8698 that the range of acceptable temperature for the conservation of frescoes is 6–25 °C while in the case of RH, this range is 45%–60%, according to the Italian Standard UNI 10829 (1999). These recommended ranges of temperature (6–25 °C) and RH (45%–60%) correspond to the Standard DM 10/2001 [2], not to UNI 10829. The authors would ...

The 11 km fringe visibilities of IRC ]10011 (\ CIT3) and IRC ]10420 have been measured at baselines ranging from 2 to 14 m with a two-telescope interferometer. The visibility data provide onedimensional proÐles of these two stars and their immediate surroundings with higher resolution in this spectral range than is presently possible with a single-aperture telescope. Spherically symmetric radia...

We present NAOMI/OASIS adaptive-optics assisted integral-field spectroscopy of the transitional massive hypergiant IRC +10420, an extreme masslosing star apparently in the process of evolving from a Red Supergiant toward the Wolf-Rayet phase. To investigate the present-day mass-loss geometry of the star, we study the appearance of the line-emission from the inner wind as viewed when reflected o...
