Constraints on the multiplicity of the most massive stars known: R136 a1, a2, a3, and c
T. Shenar, H. Sana, P. A. Crowther +5
The most massive stars known to date are R 136 a1, a2, a3, and c within the central cluster R 136a of the Tarantula nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with reported masses…
Stellar properties of observed stars stripped in binaries in the Magellanic Clouds
Y. Gotberg, M. R. Drout, A. P. Ji +6
Massive stars (~8-25Msun) stripped of their hydrogen-rich envelopes via binary interaction are thought to be the main progenitors for merging neutron stars and stripped-envelope su…
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…
X-Shooting ULLYSES: Massive stars at low metallicity. III. Terminal wind speeds of ULLYSES massive stars
C. Hawcroft, H. Sana, L. Mahy +26
The winds of massive stars have an impact on stellar evolution and on the surrounding medium. The maximum speed reached by these outflows, the terminal wind speed, is a global wind…
Extinction towards the cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud: An extinction law from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet
Sarah A. Brands, Alex de Koter, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +4
The cluster R136 in the giant star-forming region 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offers a unique opportunity to resolve a stellar population in a starburst-like env…
Line Luminosities of Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Wolf-Rayet stars
Paul A. Crowther, G. Rate, Joachim M. Bestenlehner
We provide line luminosities and spectroscopic templates of prominent optical emission lines of 133 Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars by exploiting Gaia DR3 parallaxes and optical spectrop…
