Multiplicity of northern bright O-type stars with optical long baseline interferometry

Cyprien Lanthermann, Jean-Baptiste Le Bouquin, Hugues Sana +16

The study of the multiplicity of massive stars gives hints on their formation processes and their evolutionary paths, which are still not fully understood. Large separation binarie…

Megahertz emission of massive early-type stars in the Cygnus region

Paula Benaglia, Michäel De Becker, C. H. Ishwara-Chandra +2

Massive, early type stars have been detected as radio sources for many decades. Their thermal winds radiate free-free continuum and in binary systems hosting a colliding-wind regio…

A spectroscopic investigation of the O-type star population in four Cygnus OB associations. II. Determination of the fundamental parameters

L. Mahy, G. Rauw, M. De Becker +2

Aims. Having established the binary status of nineteen O-type stars located in four Cygnus OB associations, we now determine their fundamental parameters to constrain their propert…

A radio-map of the colliding winds in the very massive binary system HD 93129A

Paula Benaglia, Benito Marcote, Javier Moldon +4

Radio observations are an effective tool to discover particle acceleration regions in colliding-wind binaries, through detection of synchrotron radiation; these regions are natural…

Spectroscopic study of the O-type runaway supergiant HD 195592

M. De Becker, N. Linder, G. Rauw

The scope of this paper is to perform a detailed spectroscopic study of the northern O-type supergiant HD 195592. We use a large sample of high quality spectra in order to investig…

Prospects for the study of dust making Wolf-Rayet binaries with the VLTI-Spectro-Imager (VSI)

M. De Becker, M. Filho, T. Harries

In response to ESO's call for proposals for second generation instruments for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), a consortium is currently developing the VLTI-Spectro-…

Long baseline interferometry: a promising tool for multiplicity investigations of massive stars

M. De Becker

Massive binaries are crucial laboratories that allow us to investigate processes occurring in quite extreme conditions, such as particle acceleration, high-energy emission, or even…
