Reduction of the maximum mass-loss rate of OH/IR stars due to unnoticed binary interaction
In 1981, the idea of a superwind that ends the life of cool giant stars was proposed1. Extreme oxygen-rich giants, OH/IR stars, develop superwinds with the highest mass-loss rates known so far, up to a few 10−4 s...
