Infrared spectral signatures of light r-process elements in kilonovae
Anders Jerkstrand, Quentin Pognan, Smaranika Banerjee +8
A central question regarding neutron star mergers is whether they are able to produce all the r-process elements, from first to third peak. The high abundances of first-peak elemen…
Hubble spectroscopy of LB-1: comparison with B+black-hole and Be+stripped-star models
D. J. Lennon, J. Maíz Apellániz, A. Irrgang +10
LB-1 has variously been proposed as either an X-ray dim B-type star plus black hole (B+BH) binary, or a Be star plus an inflated stripped star (Be+Bstr) binary. The Space Telescope…
A detailed non-LTE analysis of LB-1: Revised parameters and surface abundances
S. Simón-Díaz, J. Maíz Apellániz, D. J. Lennon +8
LB-1 has recently been proposed to be a binary system at 4 kpc consisting of a B star of 8 Msol and a massive stellar black hole of 70 Msol. This finding challenges our current the…
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…
Sher 25: pulsating but apparently alone
William D. Taylor, Christopher J. Evans, Sergio Simón-Díaz +4
The blue supergiant Sher25 is surrounded by an asymmetric, hourglass-shaped circumstellar nebula, which shows similarities to the triple-ring structure seen around SN1987A. From op…
The VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars: NGC346-013 as a test case for massive close binary evolution
B. W. Ritchie, V. E. Stroud, C. J. Evans +5
NGC346-013 is a peculiar double-lined eclipsing binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud discovered by the VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars. Spectra obtained with VLT-FLAMES are used…
