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…
