The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXXII. Low-luminosity late O-type stars -- classification, main physical parameters, and silicon abundances

N. Markova, J. Puls, P. L. Dufton +6

Analysis of late O-type stars observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) revealed a discrepancy between the physical properties estimate…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXVII. Physical parameters of B-type main-sequence binary systems in the Tarantula nebula

R. Garland, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +14

A spectroscopic analysis has been undertaken for the B-type multiple systems (excluding those with supergiant primaries) in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS). Projected rotati…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXI. Stellar spin rates of O-type spectroscopic binaries

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, S. E. de Mink +9

The initial distribution of spin rates of massive stars is a fingerprint of their elusive formation process. It also sets a key initial condition for stellar evolution and is thus…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXII. Multiplicity properties of the B-type stars

P. R. Dunstall, P. L. Dufton, H. Sana +7

We investigate the multiplicity properties of 408 B-type stars observed in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud with multi-epoch spectroscopy from the VLT-FLAMES Tar…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XIX. B-type Supergiants - Atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances to investigate the role of binarity and the width of the main sequence

C. M. McEvoy, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +19

TLUSTY non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine atmospheric parameters and nitrogen (N) abundances for 34 single and 18 binary B-type supergiants (BSGs). T…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XV. VFTS 822: a candidate Herbig B[e] star at low metallicity

V. M. Kalari, J. S. Vink, P. L. Dufton +8

We report the discovery of the B[e] star VFTS 822 in the 30 Doradus star-forming region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, classified by optical spectroscopy from the VLT-FLAMES Tarant…
