The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey
Jorick S. Vink, C. J. Evans, J. Bestenlehner +5
We present a number of notable results from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS), an ESO Large Program during which we obtained multi-epoch medium-resolution optical spectroscopy…
The ESO Diffuse Interstellar Bands Large Exploration Survey: EDIBLES I. Project description, survey sample and quality assessment
Nick Cox, Jan Cami, Amin Farhang +27
The carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are largely unidentified molecules ubiquitously present in the interstellar medium (ISM). After decades of study, two strong a…
Predicting the Presence of Companions for Stripped-Envelope Supernovae: The Case of the Broad-Lined Type Ic SN 2002ap
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, S. D. Van Dyk +10
Many young, massive stars are found in close binaries. Using population synthesis simulations we predict the likelihood of a companion star being present when these massive stars e…
Massive pre-main sequence stars in M17
María Claudia Ramírez-Tannus, Lex Kaper, Alex de Koter +6
The formation process of massive stars is still poorly understood. Massive young stellar objects (mYSOs) are deeply embedded in their parental clouds, they are rare and thus typica…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXVI: Properties of the O-dwarf population in 30 Doradus
C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +21
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey has observed hundreds of O-type stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We study the properties of 105 apparently single…
Delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae with late events resulting from binary interaction
E. Zapartas, S. E. de Mink, R. G. Izzard +8
Most massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, are in close binary systems and may interact with their companion through mass transfer or merging. We undertake a…
