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…

The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring. IV. Double-lined photometric binaries

L. Mahy, L. A. Almeida, H. Sana +10

A high fraction of massive stars are found to be binaries but only a few of them are reported as photometrically variable. By studying the populations of SB2 in the 30 Doradus regi…

Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models

N. Langer, C. Schürmann, K. Stoll +38

The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding of massive star evolution to i…

The young massive SMC cluster NGC 330 seen by MUSE. I. Observations and stellar content

J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana, L. Mahy +9

A majority of massive stars are part of binary systems, a large fraction of which will inevitably interact during their lives. Binary-interaction products (BiPs), i.e. stars affect…

How mergers magnetise massive stars

Fabian R. N. Schneider, Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Philipp Podsiadlowski +4

Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe. The Sun's magnetic field drives the solar wind and causes solar flares and other energetic surface phenomena that profoundly affect…

A census of massive stars in NGC 346. Stellar parameters and rotational velocities

P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans, I. Hunter +2

Spectroscopy for 247 stars towards the young cluster NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud has been combined with that for 116 targets from the VLT-FLAMES Survey of Massive Stars.…

Hydrodynamical simulations and similarity relations for eruptive mass loss from massive stars

Stanley P. Owocki, Ryo Hirai, Philipp Podsiadlowski +1

Motivated by the eruptive mass loss inferred from Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) stars, we present 1D hydrodynamical simulations of the response from sudden energy injection into the…
