The Extreme Scarcity of Dust-enshrouded Red Supergiants: Consequences for Producing Stripped Stars via Winds

TL;DR: In this article , a fresh look at the dust-enshrouded RSGs (DE-RSGs), objects claimed to represent a short-lived, high-mass-loss phase, is presented.

Circumstellar Material Around Evolved Massive Stars

Nathan Smith
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review multiwavelength observations of material seen around different types of evolved massive stars (i.e., red supergiants, yellow hypergiants and luminous blue variables, B[e] supergiant, and Wolf-Rayet stars), concentrating on diagnostics of mass, composition, and kinetic energy in both local and distant examples.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gallery of cool hypergiants --- imaging their circumstellar environments

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution imaging with HST-WFPc2 of seven of the most luminous evolved cool stars showed that the three OH/IR stars NML Cyg, VX Sgr and S Per have circumstellar nebulae while no ejecta was detected for the M-type supergiant J.tCep and the yellow hypergiants pCas, HR8752 and HR5171a.

The Mysterious Ring in the Open Cluster NGC 3572: Planetary Nebula or Photoevaporating Globule?

TL;DR: In this paper, optical and infrared emission from the putative planetary nebula in the young open cluster NGC 3572 was discussed, showing that most gas in the nebula is expanding at velocities ≲5 km s.
