The young massive SMC cluster NGC 330 seen by MUSE II. Multiplicity properties of the massive-star population
J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana, C. Wang +10
Observations of massive stars in young open clusters (< ~8 Myr) have shown that a majority of them are in binary systems, most of which will interact during their life. Populations…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring V. R 144: a wind-eclipsing binary with a total mass > 140 Msun
T. Shenar, H. Sana, P. Marchant +21
R 144 is the visually brightest WR star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). R 144 was reported to be a binary, making it potentially the most massive binary thus observed. We perf…
Simulating the formation of Carinae's surrounding nebula through unstable triple evolution and stellar merger-induced eruption
Ryosuke Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Stanley P. Owocki +2
Carinae is an extraordinary massive star famous for its 19th century Great Eruption and the surrounding Homunculus nebula ejected in that event. The cause of this eruption has…
The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. II. Physical properties of the most massive stars in R136
Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Paul A. Crowther, Saida M. Caballero-Nieves +11
We present an optical analysis of 55 members of R136, the central cluster in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Our sample was observed with STIS aboard the Hubble…
The Art of Modeling Stellar Mergers and the Case of the B[e] Supergiant R4 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Samantha Wu, Rosa Wallace Everson, Fabian R. N. Schneider +2
Most massive stars exchange mass with a companion, leading to evolution which is altered drastically from that expected of stars in isolation. Such systems are the result of unusua…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: III. Atmosphere analysis of double-lined spectroscopic systems
L. Mahy, H. Sana, M. Abdul-Masih +17
Accurate stellar parameters of individual objects in binary systems are essential to constrain the effects of binarity on stellar evolution. These parameters serve as a prerequisit…
