South Africa’s SALT telescope plays key role in solving a cosmic mystery

The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) has been used, by international astronomers, to solve a “cosmic mystery”. Located in the South African Astronomical Observatory complex at Sutherland in the Karoo, in the Northern Cape province, SALT was used to observe one of the most extreme stars ever found, designated WOH G64, which lies in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC – a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way). WOH G64 is one of the coolest but also most luminous, as well as dustiest, red supergiant stars in the LMC. This kind of star ends its days in a core-collapse supernova explosion. And, over the past ten years WOH G64 has faded to a significant degree, while its pulsations have been suppressed, and the spectrum of the light that it emits has become dominated by emission lines from ionised gas, rather than those typical of red supergiants. Moreover, in 2024, it was discovered that the star was being veiled by a fresh dust cloud.
