Hubble Tarantula Treasury Project. III. Photometric Catalog and Resulting Constraints on the Progression of Star Formation in the 30 Doradus Region
E. Sabbi, D. J. Lennon, J. Anderson +21
We present and describe the astro-photometric catalog of more than 800,000 sources found in the Hubble Tarantula Treasury Project (HTTP). HTTP is a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Tre…
Discovery of the massive overcontact binary VFTS 352: Evidence for enhanced internal mixing
L. A. Almeida, H. Sana, S. E. de Mink +15
The contact phase expected to precede the coalescence of two massive stars is poorly characterized due to the paucity of observational constraints. Here we report on the discovery…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIII: two massive double-lined binaries in 30~Doradus
Ian D. Howarth, P. L. Dufton, P. R. Dunstall +9
We investigate the characteristics of two newly discovered short-period, double-lined, massive binary systems, VFTS 450 (O9.7II--Ib+O7::) and VFTS 652 (B1IbO…
B fields in OB stars (BOB): low-resolution FORS2 spectropolarimetry of the first sample of 50 massive stars
L. Fossati, N. Castro, M. Schoeller +10
Within the context of the collaboration "B fields in OB stars (BOB)", we used the FORS2 low-resolution spectropolarimeter to search for a magnetic field in 50 massive stars, includ…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXI. Stellar spin rates of O-type spectroscopic binaries
O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, S. E. de Mink +9
The initial distribution of spin rates of massive stars is a fingerprint of their elusive formation process. It also sets a key initial condition for stellar evolution and is thus…
Massive stars on the verge of exploding: the properties of oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet stars
F. Tramper, S. M. Straal, D. Sanyal +7
Context. Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars represent a very rare stage in the evolution of massive stars. Their spectra show strong emission lines of helium-burning products, i…
