An Orbit for a Massive Wolf-Rayet Binary in the LMC: An Example of Binary Evolution
Breelyn Cocke, Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell +6
Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are helium-burning, evolved massive stars which have had most of their hydrogen-rich outer layers removed either through stellar winds and/or binary stripping…
A New Determination of the Mass of NGC 3603-A1: the Most Massive Binary Known?
Philip Massey, Sarah Bodansky, Laura R. Penny +2
The star NGC 3603-A1 has long been known to be a very massive binary, consisting of a pair of O2-3If*/WN5-6 stars, which show Wolf-Rayet-like emission due to their luminosities bei…
The Nature of a Recently Discovered Wolf-Rayet Binary: Archetype of Stripping?
Philip Massey, Kathryn F. Neugent, Nidia I. Morrell +2
LMCe055-1 was recently discovered in a survey for WRs in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and classified as a WN4/O4, a lower excitation version of the WN3/O3 class discovered as part o…
Photometric and Spectroscopic Studies of Massive Binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. Introduction and Orbits for Two Detached Systems: Evidence for a Mass Discrepancy?
Philip Massey, Nidia I. Morrell, Kathryn F. Neugent +3
The stellar mass-luminosity relation is poorly constrained by observations for high mass stars. We describe our program to find eclipsing massive binaries in the Magellanic Clouds…
Tomographic Separation of Composite Spectra. XI. The Physical Properties of the Massive Close Binary HD 100213 (TU Muscae)
Laura R. Penny, Cynthia Ouzts, Douglas R. Gies
We present the results of a Doppler tomographic reconstruction of the UV spectra of the double-lined, O binary HD 100213 based on observations made with the International Ultraviol…
A FUSE Survey of the Rotation Rates of Very Massive Stars in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds
Laura R. Penny, Douglas R. Gies
We present projected rotational velocity values for 97 Galactic, 55 SMC, and 106 LMC O-B type stars from archival FUSE observations. The evolved and unevolved samples from each env…
