The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: Observational evidence for two distinct populations of massive runaway stars in 30 Doradus
H. Sana, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, V. Hénault-Brunet +17
Two main scenarios have been proposed for origin of massive runaway stars -- dynamical ejection or release from a binary at the first core collapse -- but their relative contributi…
Distance and age of the massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1. II. The eclipsing binary W36
Danilo F. Rocha, Leonardo A. Almeida, Augusto Damineli +3
Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is one of the most relevant star clusters in the Milky Way to study massive star formation, although it is still poorly known. Here, we used photometric and spe…
An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
Distance and age of the massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1. I. Parallax method using Gaia-EDR3
Felipe Navarete, Augusto Damineli, Aura E. Ramirez +2
Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is one of the most massive young star clusters in the Milky Way. Although relevant for star formation and evolution, its fundamental parameters are not yet very…
Rotation signature of TESS B-type stars. A comprehensive analysis
L. F. Barraza, R. L. Gomes, Y. S. Messias +11
Stellar rotation is a fundamental observable that drives different aspects of stellar and planetary evolution. In this work, we present an unprecedented manifold analysis of 160 B-…
An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
