The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: The fastest rotating O-type star and shortest period LMC pulsar - remnants of a supernova disrupted binary?

P. L. Dufton, P. R. Dunstall, C. J. Evans +12

We present a spectroscopic analysis of an extremely rapidly rotating late O-type star, VFTS102, observed during a spectroscopic survey of 30 Doradus. VFTS102 has a projected rotati…

Predictions for mass-loss rates and terminal wind velocities of massive O-type stars

L. E. Muijres, Jorick S. Vink, A. de Koter +2

Mass loss forms an important aspect of the evolution of massive stars, as well as for the enrichment of the surrounding ISM. Our goal is to predict accurate mass-loss rates and ter…

Wind Models for Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe

Jorick S. Vink, J. M. Bestenlehner, G. Graefener +2

Some studies have claimed the existence of a stellar upper-mass limit of 150 Msun. A factor that is often overlooked concerns the issue that there might be a significant difference…

Herschel/HIFI observations of O-rich AGB stars : molecular inventory

K. Justtanont, T. Khouri, M. Maercker +15

Spectra, taken with the heterodyne instrument, HIFI, aboard the Herschel Space Observatory, of O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars which form part of the guaranteed time key…

The non-thermal radio emitter HD 93250 resolved by long baseline interferometry

H. Sana, J. -B. Le Bouquin, M. De Becker +3

As the brightest O-type X-ray source in the Carina nebula, HD 93250 (O4 III(fc)) is X-ray overluminous for its spectral type and has an unusually hard X-ray spectrum. Two different…

Sparse Aperture Masking of Massive Stars

H. Sana, S. Lacour, J. -B. Le Bouquin +5

We present the earliest results of our NACO/VLT sparse aperture masking (SAM) campaign to search for binarity in a sample of 60 O-type stars. We detect Delta Ks < 5 mag companions…
