The incidence of LBV variability in the LMC

V. M. Kalari, J. S. Vink, C. Furey +3

Luminous blue variables (LBVs) exhibit unique variability features, characterized by episodic outbursts (1 mag) accompanied by spectroscopic changes (S Dor variables). It is deb…

EWOCS-V: Is Wd1-72 a recent post-interaction WR+O binary?

C. J. K. Larkin, J. Mackey, H. Jin +14

The evolutionary origin of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at Solar metallicity is unclear. Single-star evolution from massive O stars, possibly via a Luminous Blue Variable phase, is challe…

Gaia-ESO Survey: massive stars in the Carina Nebula. II. The spectroscopic analysis of the O-star population

S. R. Berlanas, L. Mahy, A. Herrero +9

The new census of massive stars in the Carina nebula reveals the presence of 54 apparently single O-type stars in the Car OB1 association, an extremely active star-forming region w…

Binarity at LOw Metallicity (BLOeM): a spectroscopic VLT monitoring survey of massive stars in the SMC

T. Shenar, J. Bodensteiner, H. Sana +74

Surveys in the Milky Way and Large Magellanic Cloud revealed that the majority of massive stars will interact with companions during their lives. However, knowledge of the binary p…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive Stars at Low Metallicity

Jorick S. Vink, Paul Crowther, Alex Fullerton +20

The Hubble Space Telescope has devoted 500 orbits to observing 250 massive stars with low metallicity in the ultraviolet (UV) range within the framework of the ULLYSES program. The…

X-Shooting ULLYSES: massive stars at low metallicity. I. Project Description

Jorick S. Vink, A. Mehner, P. A. Crowther +78

Observations of individual massive stars, super-luminous supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and gravitational-wave events involving spectacular black-hole mergers, indicate that the low…
