DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202038136
Abstract: Very few examples are known of red supergiant runaways, all of them descending from the more massive O-type precursors, but none from the lower mass B-type precursors, although runaway statistics among B-type stars suggest that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa1153
Abstract: Massive stars leave their imprint on the interstellar medium as they radiate their energy and undergo episodes of mass ejection throughout their lives. In this paper, we analyse the case of the Wolf–Rayet star WR16… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/sly103
Abstract: LP 40-365 (aka GD 492) is a nearby low-luminosity hyper-runaway star with an extremely unusual atmospheric composition, which has been proposed as the remnant of a white dwarf that survived a subluminous Type Ia supernova… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/sly194
Abstract: How very massive stars form is still an open question in astrophysics. VFTS682 is among the most massive stars known, with an inferred initial mass of ≳150M⊙. It is located in 30 Doradus at a… read more here.
