The properties of ten O-type stars in the low-metallicity galaxies IC 1613, WLM and NGC 3109

F. Tramper, H. Sana, A. de Koter +2

Massive stars likely played an important role in the reionization of the Universe, and the formation of the first black holes. Massive stars in low-metallicity environments in the…

Rotational velocities of single and binary O-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, A. de Koter +15

Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars, affecting their evolution, chemical yields, ionizing photon budget, and final fate. We determined the projected rotat…

The B Fields in OB Stars (BOB) Survey

T. Morel, N. Castro, L. Fossati +29

The B fields in OB stars (BOB) survey is an ESO large programme collecting spectropolarimetric observations for a large number of early-type stars in order to study the occurrence…

HD 152246 - a new high-mass triple system and its basic properties

A. Nasseri, R. Chini, P. Harmanec +6

Analyses of multi-epoch, high-resolution (R ~ 50.000) optical spectra of the O-type star HD 152246 (O9 IV according to the most recent classification), complemented by a limited nu…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVII. Physical and wind properties of massive stars at the top of the main sequence

Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Götz Gräfener, Jorick S. Vink +12

The evolution and fate of very massive stars (VMS) is tightly connected to their mass-loss properties. Their initial and final masses differ significantly as a result of mass loss.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVI. The optical+NIR extinction laws in 30 Doradus and the photometric determination of the effective temperatures of OB stars

J. Maíz Apellániz, C. J. Evans, R. H. Barbá +11

Context: The commonly used extinction laws of Cardelli et al. (1989) have limitations that, among other issues, hamper the determination of the effective temperatures of O and earl…
