Massive star winds interacting with magnetic fields on various scales

A. David-Uraz, V. Petit, C. Erba +3

One of the defining processes which govern massive star evolution is their continuous mass loss via dense, supersonic line-driven winds. In the case of those OB stars which also ho…

Surface abundances of ON stars

F. Martins, S. Simon-Diaz, A. Palacios +5

Massive stars burn hydrogen through the CNO cycle during most of their evolution. When mixing is efficient, or when mass transfer in binary systems happens, chemically processed ma…

The Enigma of the Open Cluster M29 (NGC 6913) Solved

V. Straizys, K. Milasius, R. P. Boyle +9

Determining the distance to the open cluster M29 (NGC 6913) has proven difficult, with distances determined by various authors differing by a factor of two or more. To solve this p…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey II: R139 revealed as a massive binary system

W. D. Taylor, C. J. Evans, H. Sana +22

We report the discovery that R139 in 30 Doradus is a massive spectroscopic binary system. Multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of R139 was obtained as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula…

An HST/NICMOS view of the prototypical giant HII region NGC604 in M33

Rodolfo H. Barba, Jesus Maiz Apellaniz, Enrique Perez +5

We present the first high-spatial resolution near-infrared (NIR) imaging of NGC 604, obtained with the NICMOS camera aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). These NICMOS broadband…
