XUE. Thermochemical Modeling Suggests a Compact and Gas-Depleted Structure for a Distant, Irradiated Protoplanetary Disk

Bayron Portilla-Revelo, Konstantin V. Getman, María Claudia Ramírez-Tannus +14

Unveiling the physical structure of protoplanetary disk is crucial for interpreting the diversity of the exoplanet population. Until recently, the census of the physical properties…

The IACOB project XIV. New clues on the location of the TAMS in the massive star domain

A. de Burgos, S. Simón-Díaz, M. A. Urbaneja +4

Massive stars play a very important role in many astrophysical fields. Yet, some fundamental aspects of their evolution remain poorly constrained. In this regard, there is an open…

The past, present and future of observations of externally irradiated disks

Planet formation environments collaboration, Megan Allen, Rossella Anania +51

Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolutio…

Non-parametric identification of single-lined binary candidates in young clusters using single-epoch spectroscopy

Stefano Rinaldi, María Claudia Ramírez-Tannus

Binarity plays a crucial role in star formation and evolution. Consequently, identifying binary stars is essential to deepen our understanding of these processes. We propose a meth…

Properties of intermediate- to high-mass stars in the young cluster M17 -- Characterizing the (pre-)zero-age main sequence

Frank Backs, S. A. Brands, M. C. Ramírez-Tannus +5

The outcome of the formation of massive stars is an important anchor point in their evolution. It provides insight into the physics of the assembly process, and sets the conditions…

The spectroscopic binary fraction of the young stellar cluster M17

M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, A. R. Derkink, F. Backs +5

Significant progress has been made toward understanding the formation of massive (M) binaries in close orbits. For example, the detection of a very low velocity d…

Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young Stars (DESTINYS): PDS 111, an old T Tauri star with a young-looking disk

Annelotte Derkink, Christian Ginski, Paola Pinilla +20

The interplay between T Tauri stars and their circumstellar disks, and how this impacts the onset of planet formation has yet to be established. We studied a seemingly old T Tauri…

The early evolution of young massive clusters. II. The kinematic history of NGC 6618 / M 17

Mitchel Stoop, Annelotte Derkink, Lex Kaper +5

The fraction of massive stars in young stellar clusters is of importance as they are the dominant sources of both mechanical and radiative feedback, strongly influencing the therma…

Spectroscopic variability of massive pre-main-sequence stars in M17

A. R. Derkink, M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, L. Kaper +4

It is a challenge to study the formation process of massive stars: their formation time is short, they are few, often deeply embedded, and at relatively large distances. Our strate…

Massive pre-main-sequence stars in M17: and overtone CO bandhead emission and the thermal infrared

J. Poorta, M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, A. de Koter +4

Recently much progress has been made in probing the embedded stages of massive star formation, pointing to formation scenarios akin to a scaled up version of low-mass star formatio…

Massive pre-main-sequence stars in M17 -- Modelling hydrogen and dust in MYSO disks

Frank Backs, J. Poorta, Ch. Rab +5

The young massive-star-forming region M17 contains optically visible massive pre-main-sequence stars that are surrounded by circumstellar disks. Such disks are expected to disappea…

On the origin of close massive binaries in the M17 star-forming region

E. Bordier, A. J. Frost, H. Sana +5

Spectroscopic multiplicity surveys of O stars in young clusters and OB associations have revealed that a large portion ( 70%) of these massive stars (M 15 $M_{\od…

The young stellar content of the giant HII regions M8, G333.6-0.2, and NGC6357 with VLT/KMOS

M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, J. Poorta, A. Bik +14

Context: The identification and characterisation of populations of young massive stars in (giant) HII regions provides important constraints on i) the formation process of massive…

Diffuse interstellar bands in the HII region M17: Insights into their relation with the total-to-selective visual extinction

M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, N. L. J. Cox, L. Kaper +1

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are broad absorption features measured in sightlines probing the diffuse interstellar medium. Although large carbon-bearing molecules have been pr…

Massive pre-main sequence stars in M17

María Claudia Ramírez-Tannus, Lex Kaper, Alex de Koter +6

The formation process of massive stars is still poorly understood. Massive young stellar objects (mYSOs) are deeply embedded in their parental clouds, they are rare and thus typica…

A Study on the Universality and Linearity of the Leavitt Law in the LMC and SMC Galaxies

Alejandro García-Varela, Beatriz Sabogal, María Ramírez-Tannus

The universality and linearity of the Leavitt law are hypotheses commonly adopted in studies of galaxy distances using Cepheid variables as standard candles. In order to test these…
