Luminous red supergiants in the Magellanic Clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 August 2024
Abstract
There is evidence that some red supergiants (RSGs) experience phases of episodic mass-loss. These episodes yield more extreme mass-loss rates, further stripping the envelope of the RSG, significantly affecting the further evolution towards the final collapse of the star. Mass lost through RSG outbursts/superwinds will flow outwards and form dust further out from the surface and this dust may be detected and modelled. Here, we aim to derive the surface properties and estimate the global properties of Mid-IR bright RSGs in the Magellanic Clouds. These properties will then be compared to evolutionary predictions and used for future spectral energy distribution fitting studies to measure the mass-loss rates from present circumstellar dust.
