Stellar Properties of Observed Stars Stripped in Binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
Published 2023-01-01“…Using the model fits, we also estimate the emission rates of ionizing photons for these stars, which agree well with previous model expectations. Further, by computing models for a range of mass-loss rates, we find that the stellar winds are weaker than predicted by any existing scheme ( ${\dot{M}}_{\mathrm{wind}}\lesssim {10}^{-9}$ M _⊙ yr ^−1 ). …”
