WR 72: a born-again planetary nebula with hydrogen-poor knots

V. V. Gvaramadze, A. Y. Kniazev, G. Graefener +1

We report the discovery of a handful of optical hydrogen-poor knots in the central part of an extended infrared nebula centred on the [WO1] star WR 72, obtained by spectroscopic an…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst

F. R. N. Schneider, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, F. Tramper +24

The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those found in high redshift…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: XXVIII. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single dwarf and giant B-type stars with small projected rotational velocities

P. L. Dufton, A. Thompson, P. A. Crowther +13

Previous analyses of the spectra of OB-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds have identified targets with low projected rotational velocities and relatively high nitrogen abundances.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey

Jorick S. Vink, C. J. Evans, J. Bestenlehner +5

We present a number of notable results from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS), an ESO Large Program during which we obtained multi-epoch medium-resolution optical spectroscopy…

On the optically-thick winds of Wolf-Rayet stars

G. Gräfener, S. P. Owocki, L. Grassitelli +1

(abridged) The strong winds of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are important for the mechanical and chemical feedback of the most massive stars and determine whether they end their lives as…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXVI: Properties of the O-dwarf population in 30 Doradus

C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +21

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey has observed hundreds of O-type stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We study the properties of 105 apparently single…
