A New Catalogue of Galactic Red Supergiants for direct detection of episodic mass-loss events
Abstract
We present GalRSG, a new catalogue of 227 Galactic Red Supergiants in the Scutum-Crux region, providing a nearly coeval and nearly co-distant sample, target of a long-term, panchromatic, high-cadence photometric monitoring campaign aimed at detecting pre-supernova variability and intense mass-loss events. Reported values in the Table are mean estimates; uncertainties are discussed in the cited references.
