Spin-down and reduced mass loss in early-type stars with large-scale magnetic fields
Z. Keszthelyi, A. de Koter, Y. Götberg +12
Magnetism can greatly impact the evolution of stars. In some stars with OBA spectral types there is direct evidence via the Zeeman effect for stable, large-scale magnetospheres, wh…
An X-ray quiet black hole born with a negligible kick in a massive binary within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tomer Shenar, Hugues Sana, Laurent Mahy +35
Stellar-mass black holes are the final remnants of stars born with more than 15 solar masses. Billions are expected to reside in the Local Group, yet only few are known, mostly det…
The early evolution of young massive clusters: The kinematic history of NGC6611 / M16
Mitchel Stoop, Lex Kaper, Alex de Koter +3
In the first few Myr the massive stars dynamically interact, produce runaways and affect the initial binary population. Observing and interpreting the dynamics of young massive clu…
Method and new tabulations for flux-weighted line-opacity and radiation line-force in supersonic media
L. G. Poniatowski, N. D. Kee, J. O. Sundqvist +7
In accelerating and supersonic media, the interaction of photons with spectral lines can be of ultimate importance. However, fully accounting for such line forces currently can onl…
Spectroscopic Line Modeling of the Fastest Rotating O-type Stars
Katherine Shepard, Douglas R. Gies, Lex Kaper +1
We present a spectroscopic analysis of the most rapidly rotating stars currently known, VFTS 102 ( km s; O9: Vnnne+) and VFTS 285 ($v_{e} \sin i =…
The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. III. The most massive stars and their clumped winds
Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +17
Context: The star cluster R136 inside the LMC hosts a rich population of massive stars, including the most massive stars known. The strong stellar winds of these very luminous star…
