Red Supersiants (RSGs)

  • comparing observations and theories of RSG. (from Massey et al.,  2008arXiv0801.1806M)
  • A review of post-RSG (from Oudmaijer et al., 2008arXiv0801.2315O)
  • A review of mass loss from hot massive stars (from Puls et al., 2008A&ARv..16..209P)
  • Atmospheric dynamics of RSG and interferometric observation of it. (from Chiavassa et al., 2008arXiv0802.1403C)
  • A 3D pure LTE radiative transfer code to derived observables of RSGs. (from Chiavassa, 2008arXiv0802.1399C)
  • Bipolar nebular around RSGs could be shaped by bipolar jets instead of wind interaction. (from Smith, 2008arXiv0802.1746S)
  • A cluster of massive RSGs are found near the end of the Galactic Bar. (from Alexander et al., 2009AJ....137.4824A)
 

Typical objects

  • alpha Ori -- an M2 Iab type supergiant
  • mu Cep -- an RSG showing roughly spherical CSE with asymmetric pattern inside (from de Wit et al., 2008ApJ...685L..75D)
  • NML Cyg -- a red hypergiant
  • VX Sgr
  • VY CMa
  • IRC -10414 (IRAS 18204-1344, OH 17.55 -0.13, RAFGL 2139) -- A RSG with L*=9x10^4Lsun at a distance of D=2-3kpc, found to harbor bipolar outflows traced by H2O masers (from Maeda et al., 2008PASJ...60.1057M)
