The VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars
C. J. Evans, I. Hunter, S. J. Smartt +12
The VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars was an ESO Large Programme to understand rotational mixing and stellar mass-loss in different metallicity environments, in order to better co…
The iron abundance of the Magellanic Bridge
P. L. Dufton, R. S. I. Ryans, H. M. A. Thompson +1
High-resolution HST ultra-violet spectra for five B-type stars in the Magellanic Bridge and in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds have been analysed to estimate their iron abund…
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…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: rotation and nitrogen enrichment as the key to understanding massive star evolution
I. Hunter, I. Brott, D. J. Lennon +7
Rotation has become an important element in evolutionary models of massive stars, specifically via the prediction of rotational mixing. Here, we study a sample of stars, including…
Iron abundances from optical Fe III absorption lines in B-type stellar spectra
H. M. A. Thompson, F. P. Keenan, P. L. Dufton +3
The role of optical Fe III absorption lines in B-type stars as iron abundance diagnostics is considered. To date, ultraviolet Fe lines have been widely used in B-type stars, althou…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: Evolution of surface N abundances and effective temperature scales in the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds
C. Trundle, P. L. Dufton, I. Hunter +4
We present an analysis of high resolution VLT-FLAMES spectra of 61 B-type stars with relatively narrow-lined spectra located in 4 fields centered on the Milky Way clusters; NGC3293…
