The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme II. VFTS 291: A stripped star from a recent mass transfer phase
J. I. Villaseñor, D. J. Lennon, A. Picco +12
Recent studies of massive binaries with putative black hole companions have uncovered a phase of binary evolution that has not been observed before, featuring a bloated stripped st…
Properties of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
P. L. Dufton, D. J. Lennon, J. I. Villasenor +5
The evolutionary status of Be-type stars remains unclear, with both single-star and binary pathways having been proposed. Here, VFTS spectroscopy of 73 Be-type stars, in the spectr…
The B-type Binaries Characterisation Programme I. Orbital solutions for the 30 Doradus population
J. I. Villaseñor, W. D. Taylor, C. J. Evans +6
We present results from the B-type Binaries Characterisation (BBC) programme, a multi-epoch spectroscopic study of 88 early B-type binary candidates in the 30 Doradus region of the…
Response to comment on "An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst"
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
Farr and Mandel reanalyse our data, finding initial-mass-function slopes for high mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpr…
An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analogue of large star-formation events in the distant Universe. We determine the recent formation hist…
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…
