The young massive SMC cluster NGC 330 seen by MUSE III. Stellar parameters and rotational velocities
J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana, P. L. Dufton +11
The origin of initial rotation rates of stars, and how a star's surface rotational velocity changes during the evolution, either by internal angular momentum transport or due to in…
The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme II. VFTS 291: A stripped star from a recent mass transfer phase
J. I. Villaseñor, D. J. Lennon, A. Picco +12
Recent studies of massive binaries with putative black hole companions have uncovered a phase of binary evolution that has not been observed before, featuring a bloated stripped st…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: Observational evidence for two distinct populations of massive runaway stars in 30 Doradus
H. Sana, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, V. Hénault-Brunet +17
Two main scenarios have been proposed for origin of massive runaway stars -- dynamical ejection or release from a binary at the first core collapse -- but their relative contributi…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars. NGC2004#115: A triple system hosting a possible short period B+BH binary
D. J. Lennon, P. L. Dufton, J. I. Villaseñor +5
The star NGC2004#115 in the LMC, originally classified as an (SB1) Be spectroscopic binary, bears some morphological resemblance to the Galactic systems LB-1 and HR 6819, both of w…
Science with the Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX)
S. R. Kulkarni, Fiona A. Harrison, Brian W. Grefenstette +53
UVEX is a proposed medium class Explorer mission designed to provide crucial missing capabilities that will address objectives central to a broad range of modern astrophysics. The…
Constraining the population of isolated massive stars within the Central Molecular Zone
J. S. Clark, L. R. Patrick, F. Najarro +2
Many galaxies host pronounced circumnuclear starbursts, fuelled by infalling gas. Such activity is expected to drive the secular evolution of the nucleus and generate super winds,…
