Sailing to the next safe harbour in our trip to the early Universe: The massive star population of metal-poor galaxies
N. Castro, M. Garcia, A. Herrero +5
Very metal-poor massive stars in the Local Group are our best proxies for the Universe's first stars, making them essential for modeling reionization and early galactic chemical ev…
Outflow from the very massive Wolf-Rayet binary Melnick 34
N. Castro, P. M. Weilbacher, M. M. Roth +4
Melnick 34 (Mk 34) is one of the most massive binary systems known and is one of the brightest X-ray point sources in the 30 Doradus region. We investigated the impact of this mass…
Mapping the core of the Tarantula Nebula with VLT-MUSE. III. A template for metal-poor starburst regions in the visual and far-ultraviolet
Paul A Crowther, N Castro
We present the integrated VLT-MUSE spectrum of the central 2'x2' (30x30 pc) of NGC 2070, the dominant giant HII region of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud,…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst
F. R. N. Schneider, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, F. Tramper +24
The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those found in high redshift…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXVI: Properties of the O-dwarf population in 30 Doradus
C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +21
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey has observed hundreds of O-type stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We study the properties of 105 apparently single…
The spectroscopic Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of Galactic massive stars
N. Castro, L. Fossati, N. Langer +3
The distribution of stars in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram narrates their evolutionary history and directly assesses their properties. Placing stars in this diagram however requi…
The IACOB project: II. On the scatter of O-dwarf spectral type -- effective temperature calibrations
S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero, C. Sabín-Sanjulián +5
We are now in an era of large spectroscopic surveys of OB-type stars. Quantitative spectroscopic analysis of these modern datasets is enabling us to review the physical properties…
The nature of V39: an LBV candidate or LBV impostor in the very low metallicity galaxy IC 1613?
A. Herrero, M. Garcia, K. Uytterhoeven +4
[abridged] Context: Very few examples of luminous blue variable (LBV) stars or LBV candidates (LBVc) are known, particularly at metallicities below the SMC. The LBV phase is crucia…
