Another one bites the dust -- how red supergiants keep surprising us

Jacco Th. van Loon

Abstract

Extreme red supergiant WOH G64 has led researchers a merry dance these last few years, but what does it reveal about the secret lives of these beasts? This article sets the latest observations of WOH G64 in the context of what has been observed in other supergiants such as Betelgeuse and what we are learning from the massive stars that have been identified to explode as a supernova. --- Source: arXiv:2606.28428v1 - http://arxiv.org/abs/2606.28428v1 PDF: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.28428v1 Origina...

Description / Details

Extreme red supergiant WOH G64 has led researchers a merry dance these last few years, but what does it reveal about the secret lives of these beasts? This article sets the latest observations of WOH G64 in the context of what has been observed in other supergiants such as Betelgeuse and what we are learning from the massive stars that have been identified to explode as a supernova.
