A high fraction of close massive binary stars at low metallicity

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

At high metallicity, a majority of massive stars have at least one close stellar companion. The evolution of such binaries is subject to strong interaction processes, heavily impac…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXIV. Stellar properties of the O-type giants and supergiants in 30 Doradus

O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, A. de Koter +21

The Tarantula region in the Large Magellanic Cloud contains the richest population of spatially resolved massive O-type stars known so far. This unmatched sample offers an opportun…

The Galactic O-Star Catalog (GOSC) and the Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey (GOSSS): current status

J. Maíz Apellániz, Á. Alonso Moragón, L. Ortiz de Zárate Alcarazo

We present the updates of the Galactic O-Star Catalog (GOSC) that we have undertaken in the last two years: new spectral types, more objects, additional information, and coordinati…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XXII. Multiplicity properties of the B-type stars

P. R. Dunstall, P. L. Dufton, H. Sana +7

We investigate the multiplicity properties of 408 B-type stars observed in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud with multi-epoch spectroscopy from the VLT-FLAMES Tar…

A Magnetic Confinement vs. Rotation Classification of Massive-Star Magnetospheres

V. Petit, S. P. Owocki, G. A. Wade +12

Building on results from the Magnetism in Massive Stars (MiMeS) project, this paper shows how a two-parameter classification of massive-star magnetospheres in terms of the magnetic…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey III: A very massive star in apparent isolation from the massive cluster R136

Joachim M. Bestenlehner, Jorick S. Vink, G. Gräfener +17

VFTS 682 is located in an active star-forming region, at a projected distance of 29 pc from the young massive cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud. It…
