A high fraction of Be stars in young massive clusters: evidence for a large population of near-critically rotating stars
N. Bastian, I. Cabrera-Ziri, F. Niederhofer +6
Recent photometric analysis of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of young massive clusters (YMCs) have found evidence for splitting in the main sequence and extended main sequen…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring project: II. A first SB2 orbital and spectroscopic analysis for the Wolf-Rayet binary R145
T. Shenar, N. D. Richardson, D. P. Sablowski +19
We present the first SB2 orbital solution and disentanglement of the massive Wolf-Rayet binary R145 (P = 159d) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The primary was claimed to hav…
The Tarantula Massive Binary Monitoring: I. Observational campaign and OB-type spectroscopic binaries
L. A. Almeida, H. Sana, W. Taylor +24
Massive binaries (MBs) play a crucial role in the Universe. Knowing the distributions of their orbital parameters (OPs) is important for a wide range of topics, from stellar feedba…
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…
Ejection of the massive Hydrogen-rich envelope timed with the collapse of the stripped SN2014C
Raffaella Margutti, A. Kamble, D. Milisavljevic +19
We present multi-wavelength observations of SN2014C during the first 500 days. These observations represent the first solid detection of a young extragalactic stripped-envelope SN…
A Comprehensive Comparative Test of Seven Widely-Used Spectral Synthesis Models Against Multi-Band Photometry of Young Massive Star Clusters
A. Wofford, S. Charlot, G. Bruzual +13
We test the predictions of spectral synthesis models based on seven different massive-star prescriptions against Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) observations of eight young…
Merging binary black holes formed through chemically homogeneous evolution in short-period stellar binaries
Ilya Mandel, Selma E. de Mink
We explore a newly proposed channel to create binary black holes of stellar origin. This scenario applies to massive, tight binaries where mixing induced by rotation and tides tran…
