The incidence of stellar mergers and mass gainers among massive stars
S. E. de Mink, H. Sana, N. Langer +2
Because the majority of massive stars are born as members of close binary systems, populations of massive main-sequence stars contain stellar mergers and products of binary mass tr…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XIII: On the nature of O Vz stars in 30 Doradus
C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +13
AIMS. We test the hypothesis of O Vz stars (characterized by having HeII4686 stronger in absorption than other He lines in their blue-violet spectra) being at a younger evolutionar…
On the nature of WO stars: a quantitative analysis of the WO3 star DR1 in IC 1613
F. Tramper, G. Gräfener, O. E. Hartoog +8
Context. Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars are thought to represent the final evolutionary stage of the most massive stars. The characteristic strong O vi emission possibly ori…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XII. Rotational velocities of the single O-type stars
O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, S. Simón-Díaz, H. Sana +15
Aims. Using ground based multi-object optical spectroscopy obtained in the framework of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS), we aim to establish the (projected) rotational veloc…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey - XI. A census of the hot luminous stars and their feedback in 30 Doradus
E. I. Doran, P. A. Crowther, A. de Koter +16
We compile the first comprehensive census of hot luminous stars in the 30 Doradus (30 Dor) star forming region of the LMC. The census extends to a radius of 10arcmin (150pc) from t…
