A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1: VII. Cluster census

J. S. Clark, B. W. Ritchie, I. Negueruela

The formation, properties, and evolution of massive stars remain subject to considerable uncertainty; impacting on fields as diverse as galactic feedback and the nature of the prog…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: XXXI. Radial velocities and multiplicity constraints of red supergiant stars in 30 Doradus

L. R. Patrick, D. J. Lennon, N. Britavskiy +10

The incidence of multiplicity in cool, luminous massive stars is relatively unknown compared to their hotter counterparts. Here we present radial velocity (RV) measurements and inv…

A VLT/FLAMES survey for massive binaries in Westerlund 1. IV. Wd1-5 - binary product and a pre-supernova companion for the magnetar CXOU J1647-45?

J. S. Clark, B. W. Ritchie, F. Najarro +2

The first soft gamma-ray repeater was discovered over three decades ago, and subsequently identified as a magnetar. However there is currently no consenus on the formation channel(…

The circumstellar environment and evolutionary state of the supergiant B[e] star Wd1-9

J. S. Clark, B. W. Ritchie, I. Negueruela

The location of the supergiant (sg)B[e] star Wd1-9 within the coeval starburst cluster Westerlund 1 allows for its placement in a detailed post-Main Sequence evolutionary scheme an…

The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey

C. J. Evans, N. Bastian, Y. Beletsky +28

The Tarantula Survey is an ambitious ESO Large Programme that has obtained multi-epoch spectroscopy of over 1,000 massive stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Clo…
