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 properties of single WO stars
F. Tramper, S. M. Straal, G. Gräfener +5
The enigmatic oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars represent a very late stage in massive star evolution, although their exact nature is still under debate. The spectra of most of…
Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink
Recent studies suggest 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 stel…
On the H Behaviour of Blue Supergiants: Rise and Fall over the Bi-stability Jump
Blagovest Petrov, Jorick S. Vink, Götz Gräfener
The evolutionary state of blue supergiants is still unknown. Stellar wind mass loss is one of the dominant processes determining the evolution of massive stars, and it may provide…
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…
The Wolf-Rayet stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud: A comprehensive analysis of the WN class
R. Hainich, U. Rühling, H. Todt +6
Aims: Following our comprehensive studies of the WR stars in the Milky Way, we now present spectroscopic analyses of almost all known WN stars in the LMC. Methods: For the quantita…
