Spitzer SAGE Infrared Photometry of Massive Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
We present a catalog of 1750 massive stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud(LMC), with accurate spectral types compiled from the literature, and aphotometric catalog for a subset of 1268 of these stars, with the goalof exploring their infrared properties. The photometric catalog consistsof stars with infrared counterparts in the Spitzer SAGE survey database,for which we present uniform photometry from 0.3 to 24 μm in theUBVIJHKs +IRAC+MIPS24 bands. The resulting infraredcolor-magnitude diagrams illustrate that the supergiant B[e], redsupergiant, and luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are among thebrightest infrared point sources in the LMC, due to their intrinsicbrightness, and at longer wavelengths, due to dust. We detect infraredexcesses due to free-free emission among ~900 OB stars, which correlatewith luminosity class. We confirm the presence of dust around 10supergiant B[e] stars, finding the shape of their spectral energydistributions (SEDs) to be very similar, in contrast to the variety ofSED shapes among the spectrally variable LBVs. The similar luminositiesof B[e] supergiants (log L/L sun >= 4) and the rare, dustyprogenitors of the new class of optical transients (e.g., SN 2008S andNGC 300 OT), plus the fact that dust is present in both types ofobjects, suggests a common origin for them. We find the infrared colorsfor Wolf-Rayet stars to be independent of spectral type and their SEDsto be flatter than what models predict. The results of this studyprovide the first comprehensive roadmap for interpreting luminous,massive, resolved stellar populations in nearby galaxies at infraredwavelengths.

Multiwavelength analyses of the extraordinary nova LMC 1991*
LMC 91 was a very fast, classical nova and the brightest nova everobserved in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It was extensively observedduring both its early optically thick and its nebular evolution in theoptical and UV wavelength regions. We successfully fit all the opticallythick spectra using a grid of spherically symmetric, non-LTE,line-blanketed, expanding synthetic spectra created with the modelatmosphere code PHOENIX. The emission lines of the nebular spectra havebeen fitted using an optimization technique for the emission-lineluminosities predicted by the photoionization code CLOUDY. Our analysesshow the following: the bolometric luminosity was super-Eddington beforevisual maximum and reachedLBolmax~6×105Lsolar, the ejected mass was~3×10-4Msolar, and nuclear burning on thewhite dwarf ceased after ~100 days. The elemental abundances (by number)with respect to solar of the ejecta are He/H=0.8+/-0.2, C/H=5-2+2.5,N/H=85-17+22, O/H=6.5-1.5+2.5, and all other elements ~0.1. Theseabundances were determined from both the optically thick and nebularanalyses. The extreme luminosity, high ejected mass, rapid turn-offtime, and low metallicity (except for enhanced CNO) represent theextreme values of observational nova parameters and thus presentinteresting challenges for understanding the nature of the outburst ofLMC 91.

Ultraviolet Spectral Classification of O and B Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud
In this extension of our previous ultraviolet classification study ofSmall Magellanic Cloud stars, we construct an ultraviolet classificationsystem for stars of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy with ametallicity intermediate to those of the Milky Way and the SMC.Employing the same method as was used for the SMC, we compile a set ofLMC spectra drawn from the International Ultraviolet Explorer archivesand use these spectra to construct a framework of reliable UV spectralclassification criteria. We classify 143 LMC IUE spectra and identifythe LMC standard stars that define our UV classification system.Representative spectra are presented to illustrate the patterns that theUV spectral classification features exhibit. The LMC and SMC UVclassification systems are intended to be applicable to UV spectra ofstars in external galaxies for which no MK standards have been defined.Such UV spectra are expected to be collected from spaceborne instrumentssuch as the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, aboard the HubbleSpace Telescope.

HIPPARCOS photometry of 24 variable massive stars (alpha Cygni variables)
The photometric variability of 24 alpha Cyg variables, i.e. variablesuper-and hypergiants, observed by the Hipparcos satellite is described.Three of the selected stars are situated in the SMC, 12 in the LMC andthe remaining 9 in the Galactic plane. Four of them are hot S Dor-typevariables, or LBVs (luminous blue variables) and two are possiblemembers of this class. Light curves are presented for all stars. Forfive stars, among which one LBV, the variability was discovered from theHipparcos photometric data. Results of period searches are presentedand, when relevant, folded light curves are shown. The linear ephemerisof two variables was revised. For most of the program stars theHipparcos magnitude scale (Hp) differs from the V of the UBV system byla 0fm1 . For all variables temperatures and M_bol are given. Galacticforeground reddening for the objects in the Magellanic Clouds are givenbased on IRAS maps.

The HIPPARCOS proper motion of the Magellanic Clouds
The proper motion of the Large (LMC) and Small (SMC) Magellanic Cloudusing data acquired with the Hipparcos satellite is presented. Hipparcosmeasured 36 stars in the LMC and 11 stars in the SMC. A correctlyweighted mean of the data yields the presently available most accuratevalues, mu_alpha cos(delta) = 1.94 +/- 0.29 mas/yr, mu_delta = - 0.14+/- 0.36 mas/yr for the LMC. For the SMC, mu_alpha cos(delta) = 1.23 +/-0.84 mas/yr, mu_delta = - 1.21 +/- 0.75 mas/yr is obtained, whereby careis taken to exclude likely tidal motions induced by the LMC. Bothgalaxies are moving approximately parallel to each other on the sky,with the Magellanic Stream trailing behind. The Hipparcos proper motionsare in agreement with previous measurements using PPM catalogue data byKroupa et al. (1994), and by Jones et al. (1994) using backgroundgalaxies in a far-outlying field of the LMC. For the LMC the Hipparcosdata suggest a weak rotation signal in a clockwise direction on the sky.Comparison of the Hipparcos proper motion with the proper motion of thefield used by Jones et al. (1994), which is about 7.3 kpc distant fromthe center of the LMC, also suggests clockwise rotation. Combining thethree independent measurements of the proper motion of the LMC and thetwo independent measurements of the proper motion of the SMC improvesthe estimate of the proper motion of the LMC and SMC. The correspondinggalactocentric space motion vectors are computed. Within theuncertainties, the LMC and SMC are found to be on parallel trajectories.Recent theoretical work concerning the origin of the Magellanic Systemis briefly reviewed, but a unique model of the Magellanic Stream, forthe origin of the Magellanic Clouds, and for the mass distribution inthe Galaxy cannot yet be decided upon. Future astrometric space missionsare necessary to significantly improve our present knowledge of thespace motion of the two most conspicuous galactic neighbours of theMilky Way.

Circumstellar absorption and intrinsic colours of massive stars
The reality of significant amounts of circumstellar obscuration formassive stars is discussed. At the same time, the question of thepossible incorrectness of currently adopted data for intrinsic colorindices of O stars is examined. The work is based primarily on recentdata for stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud and on new observationalresults for the galactic stellar aggregate surrounding HD 101205. Forthe high-luminosity stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud only marginaleffects of possible circumstellar obscuration may be traced, whereas forthe galactic stellar aggregate no such effects are noted. There is noconvincing overall indication that currently adopted intrinsic colorsfor O stars should be significantly in error.
