Udalski Red Supergiants (RSGs) are cool, evolved massive stars in the last evolutionary stage before exploding as a supernova. However, the most luminous RSGs may evolve blueward …
G. Munoz-Sanchez, S. de Wit , A. Z. Bonanos, K. Antoniadis, K. Boutsia, P. Boumis, E. Christodoulou, M. Kalitsounaki, and A. Udalski Context. Despite mounting evidence that extreme red supergiants (RSGs) undergo episodic mass-loss events, their role in RSG evolution remains uncertain. Critical questions remain unanswered, such as whether or …
