The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey X: Evidence for a bimodal distribution of rotational velocities for the single early B-type stars
P. L. Dufton, N. Langer, P. R. Dunstall +12
Aims: Projected rotational velocities (\vsini) have been estimated for 334 targets in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula survey that do not manifest significant radial velocity variations an…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. IX. The interstellar medium seen through Diffuse Interstellar Bands and neutral sodium
Jacco Th. van Loon, Mandy Bailey, Benjamin L. Tatton +11
The Tarantula Nebula (30 Dor) is a spectacular star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, seen through gas in the Galactic Disc and Halo. Diffuse Interstellar Bands offer a…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VIII. Multiplicity properties of the O-type star population
H. Sana, A. de Koter, S. E. de Mink +14
Aims. We analyze the multiplicity properties of the massive O-type star population. With 360 O-type stars, this is the largest homogeneous sample of massive stars analyzed to date.…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VI: Evidence for rotation of the young massive cluster R136
V. Hénault-Brunet, M. Gieles, C. J. Evans +8
Although it has important ramifications for both the formation of star clusters and their subsequent dynamical evolution, rotation remains a largely unexplored characteristic of yo…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey IV: Candidates for isolated high-mass star formation in 30 Doradus
E. Bressert, N. Bastian, C. J. Evans +15
Whether massive stars can occasionally form in relative isolation or if they require a large cluster of lower-mass stars around them is a key test in the differentiation of star fo…
