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…

The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: I. Observational campaign and OB-type spectroscopic binaries

L. A. Almeida, H. Sana, W. Taylor +24

Massive binaries (MBs) play a crucial role in the Universe. Knowing the distributions of their orbital parameters (OPs) is important for a wide range of topics, from stellar feedba…

The evolution of rotating very massive stars with LMC composition

K. Köhler, N. Langer, A. de Koter +8

We present a dense model grid with tailored input chemical composition appropriate for the Large Magellanic Cloud. We use a one-dimensional hydrodynamic stellar evolution code, whi…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XIX. B-type Supergiants - Atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances to investigate the role of binarity and the width of the main sequence

C. M. McEvoy, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +19

TLUSTY non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine atmospheric parameters and nitrogen (N) abundances for 34 single and 18 binary B-type supergiants (BSGs). T…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVII. Physical and wind properties of massive stars at the top of the main sequence

Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Götz Gräfener, Jorick S. Vink +12

The evolution and fate of very massive stars (VMS) is tightly connected to their mass-loss properties. Their initial and final masses differ significantly as a result of mass loss.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VIII. Multiplicity properties of the O-type star population

H. Sana, A. de Koter, S. E. de Mink +14

Aims. We analyze the multiplicity properties of the massive O-type star population. With 360 O-type stars, this is the largest homogeneous sample of massive stars analyzed to date.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. VII. A low velocity dispersion for the young massive cluster R136

V. Hénault-Brunet, C. J. Evans, H. Sana +8

Detailed studies of resolved young massive star clusters are necessary to determine their dynamical state and evaluate the importance of gas expulsion and early cluster evolution.…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey IV: Candidates for isolated high-mass star formation in 30 Doradus

E. Bressert, N. Bastian, C. J. Evans +15

Whether massive stars can occasionally form in relative isolation or if they require a large cluster of lower-mass stars around them is a key test in the differentiation of star fo…

A massive runaway star from 30 Doradus

C. J. Evans, N. R. Walborn, P. A. Crowther +7

We present the first ultraviolet (UV) and multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of 30 Dor 016, a massive O2-type star on the periphery of 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The U…
