Multiplicity of Massive Stars at Low Metallicity: Early Results from the BLOeM Campaign

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, M. Abdul-Masih +73

Massive stars at low metallicity (Z) play a central role in shaping the high-redshift Universe, yet their multiplicity remains poorly constrained. The Binarity at Low Metallicity (…

Why the northern hemisphere needs a 30-40 m telescope and the science at stake: Massive stars in spiral galaxies

J. Maíz Apellániz, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +5

This document discusses the three main lines expected to dominate massive-star research in the 2040s, namely: (1) The role of metallicity in stellar evolution, especially in determ…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Projected Rotational Velocities of B stars in the Carina Nebula

W. Santos, S. Daflon, J. V. Sales Silva +19

The Carina Nebula is an active star-forming region with several open clusters rich in massive OB stars, thus making it an optimal target for studying stellar properties such as rot…

Lucky spectroscopy, an equivalent technique to Lucky Imaging: II. Spatially-resolved intermediate-resolution blue-violet spectroscopy of 19 close massive binaries using the William Herschel Telescope

J. Maíz Apellániz, R. H. Barbá, C. Fariña +5

CONTEXT. Many massive stars have nearby companions whose presence hamper their characterization through spectroscopy. AIMS. We want to continue obtaining spatially resolved spectro…

The Villafranca catalog of Galactic OB groups: I. Systems with O2-O3.5 stars

J. Maíz Apellániz, P. Crespo Bellido, R. H. Barbá +2

CONTEXT. The GOSSS spectral classifications and Gaia data have significantly improved our ability to measure distances and determine memberships of stellar groups with OB stars. AI…

Spatially resolved spectroscopy of close massive visual binaries with HST/STIS: I. Seven O-type systems

J. Maíz Apellániz, R. H. Barbá

CONTEXT. Many O-type stars have nearby companions whose presence hamper their characterization through spectroscopy. AIMS. We want to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of clos…
