The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. IX. The interstellar medium seen through Diffuse Interstellar Bands and neutral sodium
Jacco Th. van Loon, Mandy Bailey, Benjamin L. Tatton +11
The Tarantula Nebula (30 Dor) is a spectacular star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, seen through gas in the Galactic Disc and Halo. Diffuse Interstellar Bands offer a…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VIII. Multiplicity properties of the O-type star population
H. Sana, A. de Koter, S. E. de Mink +14
Aims. We analyze the multiplicity properties of the massive O-type star population. With 360 O-type stars, this is the largest homogeneous sample of massive stars analyzed to date.…
Do we need a new family of optical-NIR extinction laws?
J. Maíz Apellániz
I consider whether we can significantly improve the Cardelli et al. (1989) family of extinction laws using new data and techniques. There are six different aspects that need to be…
A double cluster at the core of 30 Doradus
E. Sabbi, D. J. Lennon, M. Gieles +6
Based on an analysis of data obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) we report the identification of two distinct stellar populations in th…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. VII. A low velocity dispersion for the young massive cluster R136
V. Hénault-Brunet, C. J. Evans, H. Sana +8
Detailed studies of resolved young massive star clusters are necessary to determine their dynamical state and evaluate the importance of gas expulsion and early cluster evolution.…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VI: Evidence for rotation of the young massive cluster R136
V. Hénault-Brunet, M. Gieles, C. J. Evans +8
Although it has important ramifications for both the formation of star clusters and their subsequent dynamical evolution, rotation remains a largely unexplored characteristic of yo…
