A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

MOBSTER: Identifying Candidate Magnetic O Stars through Rotational Modulation of TESS Photometry

James Barron, Gregg A. Wade, Dominic M. Bowman +4

Being relatively rare, the properties of magnetic O stars are not fully understood. To date fewer than a dozen of these stars have been confirmed, making any inference of their glo…

The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852

Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman +203

We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May. Our regular photometr…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXVII. Physical parameters of B-type main-sequence binary systems in the Tarantula nebula

R. Garland, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +14

A spectroscopic analysis has been undertaken for the B-type multiple systems (excluding those with supergiant primaries) in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS). Projected rotati…

Carbon and oxygen in HII regions of the Magellanic Clouds: abundance discrepancy and chemical evolution

L. Toribio San Cipriano, G. Domínguez-Guzmán, C. Esteban +5

We present C and O abundances in the Magellanic Clouds derived from deep spectra of HII regions. The data have been taken with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph at the 8.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXIV. Stellar properties of the O-type giants and supergiants in 30 Doradus

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, A. de Koter +21

The Tarantula region in the Large Magellanic Cloud contains the richest population of spatially resolved massive O-type stars known so far. This unmatched sample offers an opportun…
