The rotation rates of massive stars: the role of binary interaction through tides, mass transfer and mergers
S. E. de Mink, N. Langer, R. G. Izzard +2
Rotation is thought to be a major factor in the evolution of massive stars, especially at low metallicity, with consequences for their chemical yields, ionizing flux and final fate…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey X: Evidence for a bimodal distribution of rotational velocities for the single early B-type stars
P. L. Dufton, N. Langer, P. R. Dunstall +12
Aims: Projected rotational velocities (\vsini) have been estimated for 334 targets in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula survey that do not manifest significant radial velocity variations an…
Discovery of a magnetic field in the rapidly-rotating O-type secondary of the colliding-wind binary HD 47129 (Plaskett's star)
J. H. Grunhut, G. A. Wade, M. Leutenegger +14
We report the detection of a strong, organized magnetic field in the secondary component of the massive O8III/I+O7.5V/III double-lined spectroscopic binary system HD 47129 (Plasket…
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.…
A double cluster at the core of 30 Doradus
E. Sabbi, D. J. Lennon, M. Gieles +6
Based on an analysis of data obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) we report the identification of two distinct stellar populations in th…
The effects of differential reddening and stellar rotation on the appearance of multiple populations in star clusters: the case of Trumpler 20
I. Platais, C. Melo, S. N. Quinn +6
We present a detailed analysis of the upper main sequence of the 1.3 Gyr old open cluster Trumpler 20. High accuracy BV photometry combined with the Very Large Telescope/FLAMES med…
