The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: constraints on stellar evolution from the chemical compositions of rapidly rotating Galactic and Magellanic Cloud B-type stars
I. Hunter, I. Brott, N. Langer +8
We have previously analysed the spectra of 135 early B-type stars in the LMC and found several groups of stars that have chemical compositions that conflict with the theory of rota…
Science Requirements for EAGLE for the E-ELT
C. J. Evans, M. D. Lehnert, J. -G. Cuby +7
We present an overview of the EAGLE science case, which spans spatially-resolved spectroscopy of targets from five key science areas - ranging from studies of heavily-obscured Gala…
Imaging the dense stellar cluster R136 with VLT-MAD
M. A. Campbell, C. J. Evans, J. Ascenso +4
We evaluate the performance of the Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD) from H and Ks imaging of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Maps of the full-width half…
Detection of diffuse interstellar bands in M31
M. A. Cordiner, N. L. J. Cox, C. Trundle +5
We investigate the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) spectrum in the interstellar medium of M31. The DEIMOS spectrograph of the W. M. Keck observatory was used to make optical spectr…
ELT instrumentation for seeing-limited and AO-corrected observations: A comparison
Colin Cunningham, Chris Evans, Guy Monnet +1
The next generation of large ground-based optical and infrared telescopes will provide new challenges for designers of astronomical instrumentation. The varied science cases for th…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: atmospheric parameters and rotational velocity distributions for B-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds
I. Hunter, D. J. Lennon, P. L. Dufton +5
We provide atmospheric parameters and rotational velocities of a large sample (~400) of O- and early B-type stars, analysed in a homogeneous and consistent manner, for use in const…
