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…

GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core

GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132

Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…

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…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst

F. R. N. Schneider, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, F. Tramper +24

The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those found in high redshift…

Subsonic structure and optically thick winds from Wolf--Rayet stars

Luca Grassitelli, Norbert Langer, Nathan J. Grin +3

Wolf-Rayet star's winds can be so dense and so optically thick that the photosphere appears in the highly supersonic part of the outflow, veiling the underlying subsonic part of th…

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…
