The spectroscopic binary fraction of the young stellar cluster M17

M. C. Ramírez-Tannus, A. R. Derkink, F. Backs +5

Significant progress has been made toward understanding the formation of massive (M) binaries in close orbits. For example, the detection of a very low velocity d…

Empirical mass-loss rates and clumping properties of O-type stars in the LMC

C. Hawcroft, L. Mahy, H. Sana +6

We constrain wind parameters of a sample of 18 O-type stars in the LMC, through analysis with stellar atmosphere and wind models including the effects of optically thick clumping.…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

An absence of binary companions to Wolf-Rayet stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud: implications for mass loss and black hole masses at low metallicity

A. Schootemeijer, T. Shenar, N. Langer +5

In order to predict the black hole mass distributions at high redshift, we need to understand whether very massive single stars ( M) at low metallicity lose their…

Rotational synchronisation of B-type binaries in 30 Doradus

D. J. Lennon, P. L. Dufton, J. I. Villaseñor +4

The spin evolution of stars in close binary systems can be strongly affected by tides. We investigate the rotational synchronisation of the stellar components for 69 SB1 systems an…
