The RMS survey: a census of massive YSO multiplicity in the -band
Robert G. Shenton, Rebecca J. Houghton, René D. Oudmaijer +4
Close to 100 per cent of massive stars are thought to be in binary systems. The multiplicity of massive stars seems to be intrinsically linked to their formation and evolution, and…
First spatially resolved Na I and He I transitions towards an MYSO. Finding new tracers for the gaseous star/disc interface
Evgenia Koumpia, M. Koutoulaki, W. -J. de Wit +4
With steady observational advances, the formation of massive stars is being understood in more detail. Numerical models are converging on a scenario where accretion discs play a ke…
Tying the geometrical traits of massive young stellar objects and their discs to a potential evolutionary sequence using infrared observations
A. J. Frost, R. D. Oudmaijer, S. L. Lumsden +1
Young massive stars influence their surroundings from local to galactic scales, but the observational challenges associated with their distance and embedded nature has, until the r…
The first interferometric survey in the K-band of massive YSOs. On the hot dust, ionised gas, and binarity at au scales
E. Koumpia, W. -J. de Wit, R. D. Oudmaijer +8
Circumstellar discs are essential for high mass star formation, while multiplicity, in particular binarity, appears to be an inevitable outcome since the vast majority of massive s…
Extreme adaptive optics astrometry of R136. Searching for high proper motion stars
Zeinab Khorrami, M. Langlois, F. Vakili +9
We compared high-contrast near-infrared images of the core of R136 taken by VLT/SPHERE, in two epochs separated by 3.06 years. For the first time we monitored the dynamics of the d…
Medium resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of Massive Young Stellar Objects
R. Pomohaci, R. D. Oudmaijer, S. L. Lumsden +2
We present medium-resolution (R~7000) near-infrared echelle spectroscopic data for 36 MYSOs drawn from the Red MSX Source (RMS) survey. This is the largest sample observed at this…
