A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity
H. Sana, T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner +74
At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…
Hot and cool: Characterising the companions of red supergiant stars in binary systems
L. R. Patrick, I. Negueruela
In this article we study the nature of the recently identified populations of hot companions to red supergiant stars (RSGs). To this end, we compile the literature on the most well…
Astro+: Design, construction, and scientific exploitation of a large-scale massive star spectroscopic database
Klaus Rubke, Amparo Marco, Ignacio Negueruela +4
Massive stars condition the evolution of the interstellar medium by the amount of energy released during their lives and especially by their deaths as supernova explosions. The vas…
The Arches cluster revisited: IV. Observational constraints on the binary properties of very massive stars
J. S. Clark, M. E. Lohr, F. Najarro +2
Serving as the progenitors of electromagnetic and gravitational wave transients, massive stars have received renewed interest in recent years. However, many aspects of their birth…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXX. Red stragglers in the clusters Hodge 301 and SL 639
N. Britavskiy, D. J. Lennon, L. R. Patrick +10
We estimate physical parameters for the late-type massive stars observed as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (L…
Red Supergiant Stars as Cosmic Abundance Probes: KMOS Observations in NGC 6822
L. R. Patrick, C. J. Evans, B. Davies +5
We present near-IR spectroscopy of red supergiant (RSG) stars in NGC 6822, obtained with the new VLT-KMOS instrument. From comparisons with model spectra in the J-band we determine…
