论文摘要
大型恒星如何结束他们的生命仍然是星星进化领域的一个悬而未决的问题。虽然9 M_SUN上方的大多数恒星将成为红色超级巨人（RSG），但这些巨大恒星的终端状态可能会受到其大规模损害历史的影响。增强的间隔风活动的周期可以将恒星从人力资源图的RSG分支中驱动。该阶段被称为RSG后的演化，很可能与发光蓝色变量和其他大型恒星所见，这很可能与高质量损坏事件或喷发有关。本文重点介绍了一些最近的观察和建模研究，这些研究旨在表征这种独特的恒星，后RSG，并将其链接到HR图上的其他大型物体，例如LBV，黄色超级巨人和尘土飞扬的RSG。
How massive stars end their lives remains an open question in the field of star evolution. While the majority of stars above 9 M_sun will become red supergiants (RSGs), the terminal state of these massive stars can be heavily influenced by their mass-loss histories. Periods of enhanced circumstellar wind activity can drive stars off the RSG branch of the HR Diagram. This phase, known as post-RSG evolution, may well be tied to high mass-loss events or eruptions as seen in the Luminous Blue Variables and other massive stars. This article highlights some of the recent observational and modeling studies that seek to characterize this unique class of stars, the post-RSGs, and link them to other massive objects on the HR Diagram such as LBVs, Yellow Hypergiants, and dusty RSGs.
