The Initial Mass Function and Massive Star Evolution in the OB Associations of the Northern Milky Way
- P. Massey, Kelsey E. Johnson, K. DeGioia-Eastwood
- Physics
- 1 November 1995
We investigate the massive star content of Milky Way clusters and OB associations in order to answer three questions: (1) How coeval is star formation? (2) How constant is the initial mass function…
A Survey of Local Group Galaxies Currently Forming Stars. I. UBVRI Photometry of Stars in M31 and M33
- P. Massey, K. Olsen, R. C. Smith
- Physics, Geology
- 6 February 2006
We present UBVRI photometry obtained from Mosaic images of M31 and M33 using the Kitt Peak National Observatory 4 m telescope. We describe our data reduction and automated photometry techniques in…
A UBVR CCD Survey of the Magellanic Clouds
- P. Massey
- Physics
- 24 October 2001
We present photometry and a preliminary interpretation of a UBVR survey of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which covers 14.5 deg2 and 7.2 deg2, respectively. This study is aimed at obtaining…
The Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey: The Large Magellanic Cloud Stellar Catalog and Extinction Map
- D. Zaritsky, Jason Harris, I. Thompson, E. Grebel, P. Massey
- Physics
- 30 October 2001
We present our catalog of U, B, V, and I stellar photometry of the central 64 deg2 area of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Internal and external astrometric and photometric tests using existing optical…
Star Formation in R136: A Cluster of O3 Stars Revealed by Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy*
The R136 cluster in 30 Doradus is the prototype super star cluster, and the only example sufficiently close that its massive star content can be studied directly. We have used the Hubble Space…
The effective temperature scale of galactic red supergiants : Cool, but not as cool as we thought
- E. Levesque, P. Massey, G. Meynet
- Physics
- 15 April 2005
We use moderate-resolution optical spectrophotometry and the new MARCS stellar atmosphere models to determine the effective temperatures of 74 Galactic red supergiants (RSGs). The stars are mostly…
Massive stars in Cyg OB2
- P. Massey, A. Thompson
- Physics
- 1 April 1991
The stellar content of Cyg OB2 has been investigated using CCD photometry and spectroscopy. The intrinsically bluest stars have been isolated for spectroscopy by using a reddening-free parameter. The…
Massive stars in the field and associations of the magellanic clouds: The upper mass limit, the initial mass function, and a critical test of main-sequence stellar evolutionary theory
- P. Massey, C. Lang, K. DeGioia-Eastwood, C. Garmany
- Physics
- 1995
We investigate the massive star population of the Magellanic Clouds with an emphasis on the field population, which we define as stars located further from any OB association than massive stars are…
Massive Stars in the Local Group: Implications for Stellar Evolution and Star Formation
- P. Massey
- Physics
- 28 November 2003
▪ Abstract The galaxies of the Local Group serve as important laboratories for understanding the physics of massive stars. Here I discuss what is involved in identifying various kinds of massive…
NGC 6611: a cluster caught in the act
- L. Hillenbrand, P. Massey, S. Strom, K. M. Merrill
- Physics, Geology
- 1 November 1993
We have combined optical CCD photometry and spectroscopy with infrared imaging photometry to study the young cluster NGC 6611. We use these data to derive improved values for the reddening law…
