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…
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…
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…
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…
