Response to comment on "An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst"
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
Farr and Mandel reanalyse our data, finding initial-mass-function slopes for high mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpr…
CUBESPEC: Low-cost space-based astronomical spectroscopy
Gert Raskin, Tjorven Delabie, Wim De Munter +10
CubeSats are routinely used for low-cost photometry from space. Space-borne spectroscopy, however, is still the exclusive domain of much larger platforms. Key astrophysical questio…
The Shortest-period Wolf-Rayet binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Part of a high-order multiple system
T. Shenar, R. Hainich, H. Todt +8
SMC AB 6 is the shortest-period (6.5d) Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud, and is therefore crucial for the study of binary interaction and formation of WR stars…
Gaia DR2 reveals a very massive runaway star ejected from R136
D. J. Lennon, C. J. Evans, R. P. van der Marel +14
A previous spectroscopic study identified the very massive O2 III star VFTS 16 in the Tarantula Nebula as a runaway star based on its peculiar line-of-sight velocity. We use the Ga…
HST astrometry in the 30 Doradus region: II. Runaway stars from new proper motions in the Large Magellanic Cloud
I. Platais, D. J. Lennon, R. P. van der Marel +12
We present a catalog of relative proper motions for 368,787 stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on a dedicated two-epoch survey with the Hubbl…
Massive runaways and walkaway stars
M. Renzo, E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink +6
Anticipating the kinematic constraints from the Gaia mission, we perform an extensive numerical study of the evolution of massive binary systems to predict the peculiar velocities…
