Gaia and HST astrometry of the very massive 150 candidate runaway star VFTS682
M. Renzo, S. E. de Mink, D. J. Lennon +12
How very massive stars form is still an open question in astrophysics. VFTS682 is among the most massive stars known, with an inferred initial mass of 150 . It is l…
Response to comment on "An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst"
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
Farr and Mandel reanalyse our data, finding initial-mass-function slopes for high mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpr…
Gaia DR2 reveals a very massive runaway star ejected from R136
D. J. Lennon, C. J. Evans, R. P. van der Marel +14
A previous spectroscopic study identified the very massive O2 III star VFTS 16 in the Tarantula Nebula as a runaway star based on its peculiar line-of-sight velocity. We use the Ga…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: XXVIII. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single dwarf and giant B-type stars with small projected rotational velocities
P. L. Dufton, A. Thompson, P. A. Crowther +13
Previous analyses of the spectra of OB-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds have identified targets with low projected rotational velocities and relatively high nitrogen abundances.…
An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analogue of large star-formation events in the distant Universe. We determine the recent formation hist…
