Response to comment on "An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst"

F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29

Farr and Mandel reanalyse our data, finding initial-mass-function slopes for high mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpr…

An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst

F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29

The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analogue of large star-formation events in the distant Universe. We determine the recent formation hist…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXV. Surface nitrogen abundances of O-type giants and supergiants

N. J. Grin, O. H. Ramirez-Agudelo, A. de Koter +19

Theoretically, rotation-induced chemical mixing in massive stars has far reaching evolutionary consequences, affecting the sequence of morphological phases, lifetimes, nucleosynthe…

Rotational velocities of single and binary O-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, A. de Koter +15

Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars, affecting their evolution, chemical yields, ionizing photon budget, and final fate. We determined the projected rotat…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XIII: On the nature of O Vz stars in 30 Doradus

C. Sabín-Sanjulián, S. Simón-Díaz, A. Herrero +13

AIMS. We test the hypothesis of O Vz stars (characterized by having HeII4686 stronger in absorption than other He lines in their blue-violet spectra) being at a younger evolutionar…

Rotational properties of the O-type star population in the Tarantula region

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, S. Simón-Díaz, H. Sana +15

The 30 Doradus (30\,Dor) region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (also known as the Tarantula Nebula) is the nearest massive starburst region, containing the richest sample of massive…

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: The fastest rotating O-type star and shortest period LMC pulsar - remnants of a supernova disrupted binary?

P. L. Dufton, P. R. Dunstall, C. J. Evans +12

We present a spectroscopic analysis of an extremely rapidly rotating late O-type star, VFTS102, observed during a spectroscopic survey of 30 Doradus. VFTS102 has a projected rotati…
