4XMM~J182531.5144036: A new persistent Be/X-ray binary found within the \emph{XMM-Newton} serendipitous survey

A. B. Mason, A. J. Norton, J. S. Clark +2

We aim to investigate the nature of time-variable X-ray sources detected in the {\it XMM-Newton} serendipitous survey. The X-ray light curves of objects in the {\it XMM-Newton} ser…

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…

A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1: VIII. Binary Systems and Orbital Parameters

B. W. Ritchie, J. S. Clark, I. Negueruela +1

The galactic cluster Westerlund 1 contains a rich population of evolved, massive stars, and a high binary fraction has been inferred from previous multiwavelength observations. We…

Gaia Photometric Science Alerts

S. T. Hodgkin, D. L. Harrison, E. Breedt +108

Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey of the entire sky. Aims: We pr…

The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring V. R 144: a wind-eclipsing binary with a total mass > 140 Msun

T. Shenar, H. Sana, P. Marchant +21

R 144 is the visually brightest WR star in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). R 144 was reported to be a binary, making it potentially the most massive binary thus observed. We perf…

Constraining the population of isolated massive stars within the Central Molecular Zone

J. S. Clark, L. R. Patrick, F. Najarro +2

Many galaxies host pronounced circumnuclear starbursts, fuelled by infalling gas. Such activity is expected to drive the secular evolution of the nucleus and generate super winds,…
