Stellar mass-loss near the Eddington limit. Tracing the sub-photospheric layers of classical Wolf-Rayet stars
G. Gräfener, J. S. Vink
Towards the end of their evolution hot massive stars develop strong stellar winds and appear as emission line stars, such as WR stars or LBVs. The quantitative description of the m…
Rotational properties of the O-type star population in the Tarantula region
O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, S. Simón-Díaz, H. Sana +15
The 30 Doradus (30\,Dor) region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (also known as the Tarantula Nebula) is the nearest massive starburst region, containing the richest sample of massive…
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…
Very Massive Stars (VMS) in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink, Alexander Heger, Mark R. Krumholz +25
Recent studies have claimed the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical…
