Two waves of massive stars running away from the young cluster R136

Mitchel Stoop, Alex de Koter, Lex Kaper +10

Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters. Their radiation fields, stellar winds, and supernovae strongly impact their local environment. In the firs…

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…

The early evolution of young massive clusters: The kinematic history of NGC6611 / M16

Mitchel Stoop, Lex Kaper, Alex de Koter +3

In the first few Myr the massive stars dynamically interact, produce runaways and affect the initial binary population. Observing and interpreting the dynamics of young massive clu…

Confirming NGC 6231 as the parent cluster of the runaway high-mass X-ray binary HD 153919/4U 1700-37 with Gaia DR2

Vincent van der Meij, Difeng Guo, Lex Kaper +1

A significant fraction of the most massive stars move through space with a high velocity. One of the possible physical explanations is that a supernova in a compact binary system r…

Fine structure in the luminosity function in young stellar populations with Gaia DR2

Difeng Guo, Alex de Koter, Lex Kaper +2

A pioneering study showed that the fine structure in the luminosity function (LF) of young star clusters contains information about the evolutionary stage (age) and composition of…

Chemically induced graphene to diamond transition: a DFT study

Changcheng Ke, Dong Fan, Chengke Chen +4

The conversion of graphene into diamond is a new way for preparing ultrathin diamond film without pressure. Herein, we investigated the transformation mechanism of surface-hydrogen…

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…

GalevNB: a conversion from N-BODY simulations to observations

Xiaoying Pang, Christoph Olczak, Difeng Guo +2

We present (Galev for -body simulations), an utility that converts fundamental stellar properties of -body simulations into observational properties using the $GALE…
