desk verdict Honest, useful NIR classifications of six evolved massive stars; the two headline claims (post-RSG status, binary) are both weaker than the abstract implies, but the authors flag the gaps themselves. read the letter →
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing diagnostic is the CO first-overtone band spectrum in the K band: emission from the $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO band heads, modeled with a Keplerian-rotating-disk code under LTE, yields the gas temperature, column density, projected rotation velocity, and the $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO abundance ratio. That ratio is the evolutionary clock—it tracks the surface $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio, which drops from the interstellar value near 90 toward values below 5 only after the red-supergiant phase. Pfund-series hydrogen emission supplies the complementary probe of ionized-wind density in hotter objects, and CO absorption identifies cool late-type components, as in the candidate binary.
What would settle it
A higher-quality K-band spectrum of J004320.97+414039.6 with $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO above 5 would falsify the post-red-supergiant classification; alternatively, a completed radial-velocity curve for J013242.26+302114.1 that follows 500–1000 day red-supergiant pulsations rather than a roughly 530-day orbit would falsify the binary claim.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central discovery is that the near-infrared K-band region, through CO first-overtone band emission and hydrogen Pfund-series emission, exposes the nature of evolved massive stars that optical spectra leave ambiguous. CO band emission indicates dense, warm (roughly 1500–2200 K) circumstellar rings, and the modeled $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO ratio reads the star's surface carbon-isotope enrichment at the time the gas was ejected. For J004320.97+414039.6 the ratio is about 3, which on rotating 20 solar-mass evolutionary tracks is reached only after the red-supergiant phase, placing the star in a post-red-supergiant stage. For J013242.26+302114.1 in M33, pure CO absorption reveals a red supergiant whose radial velocity wanders by at least 9 km/s; together with a spectral energy distribution that requires both a hot 22,000–24,000 K star and a cool 4,000 K component, this supports a binary of a hot LBV or B[e] supergiant with a red supergiant secondary, which, if confirmed, would be the first such system known.
Load-bearing premise
The post-red-supergiant classification of J004320.97+414039.6 stands on the modeled $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO ratio of about 3 being the true surface carbon-isotope ratio of the ejected gas, measured from a low-signal spectrum.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- J004320.97+414039.6 joins the small set of post-red-supergiant B[e] supergiants, marking the evolutionary transition from the red-supergiant phase back to a hot phase.
- CO band emission should be treated as a decisive discriminator between B[e] supergiants and LBV candidates in extragalactic surveys, breaking the optical degeneracy between these classes.
- The candidate binary J013242.26+302114.1, if confirmed with a complete orbit, would be the first known red-supergiant binary with an evolved massive primary, providing a testbed for binary evolution and mass transfer.
- For J004229.87+410551.8, the featureless K-band spectrum plus brightening and reddening since 2002 supports an ongoing S Dor cycle, meaning its classification as an LBV should be tested with fresh optical spectroscopy.
- The persistent CO emission and Na I doublet in J004621.08+421308.2 confirm that its molecular disk has remained stable over roughly eight years.
Reading between the lines
- A direct prediction is that higher-signal-to-noise K-band spectroscopy of J004320.97+414039.6 will keep $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO below about 5; if the measured ratio instead rises above that, the post-red-supergiant reading would be an artifact of noise or telluric residuals.
- The same $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO method could be applied to other extragalactic B[e] supergiant candidates with ambiguous optical classifications, turning the technique into a population-level census of post-red-supergiant stars.
- If the binary is real, its roughly 9 km/s semi-amplitude implies a long period, and a completed radial-velocity curve should show a period above about 530 days—the Roche-lobe limit derived in the paper—allowing the pulsation alternative to be excluded.
- The paper's assumption that the CO ring is in Keplerian rotation is not directly tested; a non-Keplerian outflow geometry would change derived column densities and isotope ratios, so time-resolved or interferometric measurements of the ring kinematics would strengthen the classification.

A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. The paper presents new GNIRS K-band spectra (R~5900, 2.2-2.4 microns) for six evolved massive stars in M31 and M33, five of which had previously ambiguous optical classifications. For each target the authors model the detected CO band emission (two M31 objects) or hydrogen Pfund emission (two objects) and combine the results with literature photometry, SED modeling, and radial velocities. They classify J004320.97+414039.6 and J004621.08+421308.2 as B[e] supergiants, argue that J004320 is most likely in a post-red supergiant stage based on 13C enrichment (12CO/13CO ~ 3), propose J004415.00+420156.2 as a B[e] supergiant, confirm Var 83 as an LBV, find J004229.87+410551.8 featureless and possibly an LBV in an S Dor cycle, and argue that J013242.26+302114.1 is most likely a binary system comprising a hot B-type emission-line object and a red supergiant, potentially the first of its kind.
Significance. If the classifications hold, the paper demonstrates that K-band CO and Pfund diagnostics can resolve optical ambiguities in extragalactic evolved massive stars and identifies a rare post-RSG B[e]SG candidate and a possibly first LBV/B[e]SG+RSG binary. The observations are new and useful: four objects receive their first near-infrared spectra, the model fits are quantitative and reported with parameters, and the analysis makes good use of archival APOGEE radial velocities and long-term photometry. The paper also contains explicit caveats about the weakest data. However, the two headline claims--the post-RSG status of J004320 and the binary nature of J013242--rest on fragile evidence, so the significance of the work is conditional on additional data or a more cautious presentation.
major comments (3)
- [§4.2.2, Table 4, Fig. 7] The binary interpretation of J013242.26+302114.1 is not yet supported by the radial-velocity data. The claimed semi-amplitude of at least ~9 km/s is set by the single 2012 measurement (-121.6 km/s, no quoted uncertainty) against the APOGEE/GNIRS cluster near -100 to -110.8 km/s; the APOGEE values alone span only about 7.5 km/s. The authors themselves note that RSG radial pulsations reach ~10 km/s with periods of 500-1000 d for M_K ~ -11, and their own minimum orbital period estimate of 532 d lies inside that range. With no phase-resolved orbit and no radial-velocity measurement of the hot component, the data do not favor orbital motion over intrinsic pulsation. The abstract and conclusions should state "candidate binary" rather than "most likely a binary" unless additional epochs or a coherent radial-velocity curve are provided.
- [§3.1, Table 2, Fig. 2] The post-RSG classification of J004320.97+414039.6 rests entirely on the fitted 12CO/13CO ratio of 3 +/- 1 in a spectrum with S/N = 16 and telluric remnants in the red portion. The modeling assumes LTE and a particular (Keplerian or equatorial-outflow) geometry, and the mapping to the stellar surface 12C/13C at the time of ejection depends on single-star rotating evolutionary tracks. No systematic-error analysis is given for the telluric correction, continuum placement, or optical depth, so it is not demonstrated that the ratio is robustly below the RSG threshold of 5. Since this is the load-bearing evidence for the "post-red supergiant" statement in the abstract, the paper should either add a quantitative robustness test (e.g., varying the continuum, line-formation geometry, or optical depth) or downgrade the claim to provisional pending higher-S/N data.
- [§4.1.1] The argument that a featureless K-band spectrum "tentatively excludes" a B[e]SG classification is weakened by the paper's own statement that only about 50% of B[e]SGs show CO band emission, and by the possibility that Pfund emission is weak or absent in some B[e]SGs. The conclusion that J004229.87+410551.8 is not a B[e]SG therefore relies more on the literature-based concern about IR excess contamination than on the new spectrum alone, and the wording should reflect this asymmetry.
minor comments (5)
- [Fig. 2 caption] The caption contains a corrupted text fragment ("20 MO •") and the color-bar label "12C/13C" should be explicitly defined as the carbon isotope abundance ratio.
- [Table 4] The Drout et al. (2012) radial-velocity measurement is listed without an uncertainty; please add an estimated uncertainty or state explicitly why none is available.
- [§4.2.2] The statement that the single-star ages of the two components "have at least the same order of magnitude" is presented as supporting binarity, but a 3-4 Myr age difference is substantial; this argument should be removed or explicitly framed as non-constraining.
- [§2] Please clarify how the rest-wavelength shift was determined for objects with no intrinsic spectral features, given that for J004229.87+410551.8 no shift is applied.
- [Table 1] The abbreviation "cLBV" is used without definition at first occurrence; please expand it in the table caption or in Section 1.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity; classifications rest on new K-band observations compared with external literature diagnostics.
full rationale
The paper's central results are inferred from newly obtained GNIRS K-band spectra, not from parameters that were defined in terms of the conclusions. The CO band emission and Pfund-line detections are direct observational features; their interpretation uses external, previously established diagnostics (e.g., CO emission as a B[e]SG indicator, evolutionary tracks, literature photometry) rather than a self-referential definition. The fitted 12CO/13CO ratios are model outputs that are then compared with independent stellar evolution tracks, so the post-RSG classification is an inference, not a tautology. The binary hypothesis for J013242.26+302114.1 is explicitly presented as tentative, with the authors noting that the radial-velocity variations 'might also have a different origin' and that follow-up is needed; the SED modelling is used as supporting evidence after the K-band spectrum already indicated a cool component, not as a circular substitute. Self-citations to the authors' earlier CO/Pfund codes and classification criteria are methodological reuse of tools validated on other samples, and they do not smuggle in the present conclusions. No load-bearing derivation reduces to its own inputs.

The upper region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is populated by massive stars in a diversity of evolutionary stages, and the classification of these stars is often based on observed characteristics exclusively in the optical spectral range. The near-infrared regime provides useful complementary information that can help resolving ambiguities in stellar classification and add valuable information about circumstellar envelopes or late-type companions. We present new, near-infrared medium-resolution K-band spectra for a sample of six evolved massive stars, four in M31 and two in M33. The spectra are obtained with the Gemini Near-Infrared Spectrograph (GNIRS) at the Gemini North telescope. We detect CO band emission from the environment of two M31 objects, J004320.97+414039.6 and J004621.08+421308.2, which we classify as B[e] supergiants, with J004320.97+414039.6 being most likely in a post-red supergiant stage. Two objects have pure emission from the hydrogen Pfund series. Of these, we propose that J004415.00+420156.2 in M31 could also be a B[e] supergiant while J013410.93+303437.6 (Var 83) is a well-known luminous blue variable (LBV) in M33. The M31 star J004229.87+410551.8 has a featureless spectrum and its evolutionary stage remains inconclusive; it could be an LBV undergoing an S Dor cycle. The object J013242.26+302114.1 in M33 displays a pure absorption spectrum, including CO bands, consistent with its identification as a cool star. Radial velocity measurements of this red component, combined with modelling of the spectral energy distribution, suggest that J013242.26+302114.1 may be a binary system consisting of an LBV or B[e] supergiant primary and a red supergiant secondary. If confirmed, it would represent the first of its kind.
