Time Evolution Images of the Hypergiant RW Cephei during the Rebrightening Phase Following the Great Dimming

Time Evolution Images of the Hypergiant RW Cephei during the Rebrightening Phase Following the Great Dimming

Stars with initial masses larger than 8 M _⊙ undergo substantial mass loss through mechanisms that remain elusive. Unraveling the origins of this mass loss is important for comprehending the evolutionary path of these stars, the type of supernova explosion, and whether they become neutron stars or b...
