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…
Weighing stars from birth to death: mass determination methods across the HRD
Aldo Serenelli, Achim Weiss, Conny Aerts +31
The mass of a star is the most fundamental parameter for its structure, evolution, and final fate. It is particularly important for any kind of stellar archaeology and characteriza…
Mass loss and the Eddington parameter: a new mass-loss recipe for hot and massive stars
Joachim M. Bestenlehner
Mass loss through stellar winds plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars. In particular the mass-loss rates of very massive stars (VMSs, ) are high…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of massive young stellar objects in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud
M. L. van Gelder, L. Kaper, J. Japelj +13
The process of massive star () formation is still poorly understood. Observations of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) are challenging due to their rarity, shor…
