The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIII: two massive double-lined binaries in 30~Doradus

Ian D. Howarth, P. L. Dufton, P. R. Dunstall +9

We investigate the characteristics of two newly discovered short-period, double-lined, massive binary systems, VFTS 450 (O9.7II--Ib+O7::) and VFTS 652 (B1IbO…

Broad Balmer Wings in BA Hyper/Supergiants Distorted by Diffuse Interstellar Bands: Five Examples in the 30 Doradus Region from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey

Nolan R. Walborn, Hugues Sana, Christopher J. Evans +11

Extremely broad emission wings at H and H have been found in VFTS data for five very luminous BA supergiants in or near 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The profiles…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula survey XX. The nature of the X-ray bright emission line star VFTS 399

J. S. Clark, E. S. Bartlett, P. S. Broos +12

The stellar population of the 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud contains a subset of apparently single, rapidly rotating O-type stars. The physical proce…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVIII. Classifications and radial velocities of the B-type stars

C. J. Evans, M. B. Kennedy, P. L. Dufton +14

We present spectral classifications for 438 B-type stars observed as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Radial v…

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.…

A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1: II. Dynamical constraints on magnetar progenitor masses from the eclipsing binary W13

B. W. Ritchie, J. S. Clark, I. Negueruela +1

Westerlund 1 is a young, massive Galactic starburst cluster that contains a rich coeval population of Wolf-Rayet stars, hot- and cool-phase transitional supergiants, and a magnetar…
