The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: Observational evidence for two distinct populations of massive runaway stars in 30 Doradus
H. Sana, O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, V. Hénault-Brunet +17
Two main scenarios have been proposed for origin of massive runaway stars -- dynamical ejection or release from a binary at the first core collapse -- but their relative contributi…
Mass loss and the Eddington parameter
Joachim M. Bestenlehner
Mass loss through stellar winds plays a dominant role in the evolution of massive stars. Very massive stars (VMSs, ) display Wolf-Rayet spectral morphologies (WNh)…
Next generation spectroscopic analysis for large samples of massive stars
Joachim M. Bestenlehner
Upcoming large-scale spectroscopic surveys such as WEAVE and 4MOST will provide thousands of spectra of massive stars, which need to be analysed in an efficient and homogeneous way…
Resolving the core of R136 in the optical
Venu M. Kalari, Elliott P. Horch, Ricardo Salinas +4
The sharpest optical images of the R136 cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud are presented, allowing for the first time to resolve members of the central core, including R136a1, t…
The R136 star cluster dissected with Hubble Space Telescope/STIS. III. The most massive stars and their clumped winds
Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +17
Context: The star cluster R136 inside the LMC hosts a rich population of massive stars, including the most massive stars known. The strong stellar winds of these very luminous star…
