The slow X-ray pulsar SXP 1062 and associated supernova remnant in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud
L. M. Oskinova, M. A. Guerrero, V. Henault-Brunet +6
SXP 1062 is an exceptional case of a young neutron star in a wind-fed high-mass X-ray binary associated with a supernova remnant. A unique combination of measured spin period, its…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. IX. The interstellar medium seen through Diffuse Interstellar Bands and neutral sodium
Jacco Th. van Loon, Mandy Bailey, Benjamin L. Tatton +11
The Tarantula Nebula (30 Dor) is a spectacular star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, seen through gas in the Galactic Disc and Halo. Diffuse Interstellar Bands offer a…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VIII. Multiplicity properties of the O-type star population
H. Sana, A. de Koter, S. E. de Mink +14
Aims. We analyze the multiplicity properties of the massive O-type star population. With 360 O-type stars, this is the largest homogeneous sample of massive stars analyzed to date.…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. VII. A low velocity dispersion for the young massive cluster R136
V. Hénault-Brunet, C. J. Evans, H. Sana +8
Detailed studies of resolved young massive star clusters are necessary to determine their dynamical state and evaluate the importance of gas expulsion and early cluster evolution.…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey VI: Evidence for rotation of the young massive cluster R136
V. Hénault-Brunet, M. Gieles, C. J. Evans +8
Although it has important ramifications for both the formation of star clusters and their subsequent dynamical evolution, rotation remains a largely unexplored characteristic of yo…
A rare early-type star revealed in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud
C. J. Evans, R. Hainich, L. M. Oskinova +6
Sk 183 is the visually-brightest star in the N90 nebula, a young star-forming region in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We present new optical spectroscopy from the V…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey IV: Candidates for isolated high-mass star formation in 30 Doradus
E. Bressert, N. Bastian, C. J. Evans +15
Whether massive stars can occasionally form in relative isolation or if they require a large cluster of lower-mass stars around them is a key test in the differentiation of star fo…
