NGC 6231: X-ray properties of the early-type star population

H. Sana, Y. Naze, E. Gosset +3

Based on a deep XMM-Newton observation of the young open cluster NGC 6231, we derive the main X-ray properties of its early-type star population. Among the 610 X-ray sources detect…

A Period and a Prediction for the Of?p Spectrum Alternator HD 191612

Nolan R. Walborn, Ian D. Howarth, Gregor Rauw +7

The observational picture of the enigmatic O-type spectrum variable HD191612 has been sharpened substantially. A symmetrical, low-amplitude light curve with a period near 540 d has…

A Spectroscopic study of the non-thermal radio emitter Cyg OB2 #8A: Discovery of a new binary system

M. De Becker, G. Rauw, J. Manfroid

We present the results of a spectroscopic campaign revealing that the non-thermal radio emitter Cyg OB2 #8A is an O6 + O5.5 binary system. We propose the very first orbital solutio…

Quasi-simultaneous XMM-Newton and VLA observation of the non-thermal radio emitter HD\168112 (O5.5III(f^+))

M. De Becker, G. Rauw, R. Blomme +8

We report the results of a multiwavelength study of the non-thermal radio emitter HD168112 (O5.5III(f^+)). The detailed analysis of two quasi-simultaneous XMM-Newton and VLA observ…

WR20a: a massive cornerstone binary system comprising two extreme early-type stars

G. Rauw, M. De Becker, Y. Naze +6

We analyse spectroscopic observations of WR20a revealing that this star is a massive early-type binary system with a most probable orbital period of \sim 3.675 days. Our spectra in…
