The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: III. Atmosphere analysis of double-lined spectroscopic systems
L. Mahy, H. Sana, M. Abdul-Masih +17
Accurate stellar parameters of individual objects in binary systems are essential to constrain the effects of binarity on stellar evolution. These parameters serve as a prerequisit…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring. IV. Double-lined photometric binaries
L. Mahy, L. A. Almeida, H. Sana +10
A high fraction of massive stars are found to be binaries but only a few of them are reported as photometrically variable. By studying the populations of SB2 in the 30 Doradus regi…
No signature of the orbital motion of a putative 70 solar mass black hole in LB-1
Michael Abdul-Masih, Gareth Banyard, Julia Bodensteiner +13
Liu et al. (2019) recently reported the detection of a 68 [+11/-13] solar mass (Msun) black hole (BH) paired with an 8.2 [+0.9/-1.2] Msun B-type sub-giant star in the 78.9-day spec…
Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38
The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…
HST/COS Spectra of the Wind Lines of VFTS 102 and 285
Katherine Shepard, Douglas R. Gies, Kathryn V. Lester +5
Rapid rotation in massive stars imposes a latitudinal variation in the mass loss from radiatively driven winds that can lead to enhanced mass loss at the poles (with little angular…
The young stellar content of the giant HII regions M8, G333.6-0.2, and NGC6357 with VLT/KMOS
M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, J. Poorta, A. Bik +14
Context: The identification and characterisation of populations of young massive stars in (giant) HII regions provides important constraints on i) the formation process of massive…
