Yellow supergiants in M31
The yellow supergiant (F- and G-type) content of nearby galaxies can provide a critical test of stellar evolution theory, bridging the gap between the hot, massive stars and the... -
Red supergiants in M31
Red supergiants (RSGs) are a short-lived stage in the evolution of moderately massive stars (10-25M_{sun}_), and as such their location in the H-R diagram provides an exacting... -
Survey of M31 with Spitzer
We explore the stellar population of M31 in a Spitzer Space Telescope survey utilizing IRAC and MIPS observations. Red supergiants are the brightest objects seen in the... -
Red supergiants in Sct-Cru Galactic arm
We report on the unprecedented red supergiant (RSG) population of a massive young cluster, located at the base of the Scutum-Crux Galactic arm. We identify candidate cluster... -
ARAUCARIA project: NGC 3109 blue supergiants
We have obtained multiobject spectroscopy of luminous blue supergiants in NGC 3109, a galaxy at the periphery of the Local Group at ~1.3Mpc. We present a detailed catalog... -
Cool stars at the Galactic Center
We present {lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}=550-1200 near-infrared H and K spectra for a magnitude-limited sample of 79 asymptotic giant branch and cool supergiant stars in the central... -
VRB photometry of red supergiants
Knowledge of the red supergiant (RSG) population of nearby galaxies allows us to probe massive star evolution as a function of metallicity; however, contamination by foreground... -
Spectrophotometry of 26 supergiants in the LMC
New spectrophotometric data for 3 galactic and 23 LMC F to G supergiants are presented. The wavelength range of the spectra is 3400 to 6400{AA}, the resolution about 10{AA}. The... -
BVRJHK photometry of M31 red supergiants
We have surveyed M31 for its most luminous red stars; 300 candidates were found distributed across the face of the galaxy. JHK infrared photometry was observed for 57 of the... -
Proper motion properties of H2O maser spots in VX Sgr
Simultaneous very-long-baseline interferometry monitoring observations of H2O and SiO masers toward VX Sagittarii were conducted from 2014 February to 2019 January. Thirty... -
LMI and LDT observation of Berkeley 50 members
We observed the Galactic open cluster Berkeley-50 in order to determine its stellar content, distance, and age. We obtained UBV photometry of 1145 stars in a 12.3x12.3' field,... -
IRTF spectral indices for giant stars
We present infrared spectral indices (1.0-2.3{mu}m) of Galactic late-type giants and red supergiants (RSGs). We used existing and new spectra obtained at resolution power R=2000... -
Resolving circumstellar environment of MWC137 .II.
The Galactic B[e] supergiant MWC137 is surrounded by a large-scale optical nebula. To shed light on the physical conditions and kinematics of the nebula, we analyze the optical... -
Red supergiant stars in M31 and M33
We identify red supergiants (RSGs) in our spiral neighbors M31 and M33 using near-IR (NIR) photometry complete to a luminosity limit of logL/L{odot}=4.0. Our archival survey... -
K-M stars of class I candidate RSGs in Gaia DR2
We investigate individual distances and luminosities of a sample of 889 nearby candidate red supergiants (RSGs) with reliable parallaxes ({omega}/{sigma}{omega}>4 and... -
Photometric & spectroscopic study of AF And in M31
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the Hubble-Sandage variable star AF And in M31. The data have been taken under the Nainital Microlensing Survey during... -
Luminous and variable stars in NGC 2403 and M81
We present the results of spectroscopy and multi-wavelength photometry of luminous and variable star candidates in the nearby spiral galaxies NGC 2403 and M81. We discuss... -
Equivalent widths for RSGs in the MW & LMC/SMC
Red supergiants (RSGs) are evolved massive stars that represent extremes, in both their physical sizes and their cool temperatures, of the massive star population. The effective... -
Properties of yellow supergiant stars in the SMC
We recently discovered a yellow supergiant (YSG) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with a heliocentric radial velocity of ~300 km/s, which is much larger than expected for a... -
BVRI photometry of luminous stars in M31 and M33
We present the first four years of BVRI photometry from an on-going survey to annually monitor the photometric behavior of evolved luminous stars in M31 and M33. Photometry was...
