A massive star odyssey : from main sequence to supernova : proceedings of the 212th Symposium of the International Astronomical Union held in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, 24-28 June 2002
A survey of faint, near-infrared sources towards the centre of the Galaxy
The authors present the results of a survey made at 1.65 μm (H) and 2.2 μm (K) in 15 small areas on the galactic equator between l = 0° and l = 10°. 775...
Analysis of UV spectrophotometric observations for O-type stars
Spectral indices (delta m2100 and delta m1500) for 32 O-type stars with known spectral class and reddening are plotted versus log of effective temperature. The...
Astronomers find evidence that blue supergiant stars can be formed by the merger of two stars
An international piece of research, led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found clues to the nature of some of the brightest and hottest...
Astronomers find in the Milky Way an unusual blue supergiant star travelling at high velocity
An international team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL), has found...
Resolving the Circumstellar Environment of the Galactic B[e] Supergiant Star MWC 137.II. Nebular Kinematics and Stellar Variability
The Galactic B[e] supergiant MWC 137 is surrounded by a large-scale optical nebula. To shed light on the physical conditions and kinematics of the nebula, we...
SN 1988A in M58 - A type II-P supernova with a high late-time luminosity
SN 1988A is (with exception of the well-observed SN 1987A) the only type II SN for which observations of the late tail of the light curve are presently...
A Copernicus spectrum of the early-type supergiant Beta Ori, extending from 1010 to 1440 A with 0.2-A resolution and from 1710 to 3215 A with 0.4-A resolution...
An exhaustive description of the visible spectrum of Beta Ori from the Balmer discontinuity to about 9000 A is reported. Equivalent widths and radial-velocity...
