A multiwavelength investigation of the massive eclipsing binary Cyg OB2 #5

N. Linder, G. Rauw, J. Manfroid +5

The properties of the early-type binary Cyg OB2 #5 have been debated for many years and spectroscopic and photometric investigations yielded conflicting results. We have attempted…

On the origin of macroturbulence in hot stars

C. Aerts, J. Puls, M. Godart +1

Since the use of high-resolution high signal-to-noise spectroscopy in the study of massive stars, it became clear that an ad-hoc velocity field at the stellar surface, termed macro…

Redshifts and lens profile for the double quasar QJ 0158-4325

C. Faure, T. Anguita, A. Eigenbrod +5

We report on the redshift of the lensing galaxy and of the quasar QJ 0158-4325 and on the lens model of the system. A deep VLT/FORS2 spectrum and HST/NICMOS-F160W images are deconv…

Abundances of massive stars: some recent developments

T. Morel

Thanks to their usefulness in various fields of astrophysics (e.g. mixing processes in stars, chemical evolution of galaxies), the last few years have witnessed a large increase in…
