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 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. XIII: On the nature of O Vz stars in 30 Doradus

C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +13

AIMS. We test the hypothesis of O Vz stars (characterized by having HeII4686 stronger in absorption than other He lines in their blue-violet spectra) being at a younger evolutionar…

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.…
