Gaia and HST astrometry of the very massive 150 candidate runaway star VFTS682
M. Renzo, S. E. de Mink, D. J. Lennon +12
How very massive stars form is still an open question in astrophysics. VFTS682 is among the most massive stars known, with an inferred initial mass of 150 . It is l…
A-type stars in the Canada-France Imaging Survey I. The stellar halo of the Milky Way traced to large radius by blue horizontal branch stars
Guillaume F. Thomas, Alan W. McConnachie, Rodrigo A. Ibata +14
We present the stellar density profile of the outer halo of the Galaxy traced over a range of Galactocentric radii from kpc by blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars…
Response to comment on "An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst"
F. R. N. Schneider, H. Sana, C. J. Evans +29
Farr and Mandel reanalyse our data, finding initial-mass-function slopes for high mass stars in 30 Doradus that agree with our results. However, their reanalysis appears to underpr…
The unexpected kinematics of multiple populations in NGC6362: do binaries play a role?
E. Dalessandro, A. Mucciarelli, M. Bellazzini +9
We present a detailed analysis of the kinematic properties of the multiple populations (MPs) in the low-mass Galactic globular cluster NGC6362 based on a sample of about 500 member…
The effect of stellar-mass black holes on the central kinematics of omega Cen: a cautionary tale for IMBH interpretations
Alice Zocchi, Mark Gieles, Vincent Hénault-Brunet
The search for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) in the centre of globular clusters is often based on the observation of a central cusp in the surface brightness profile and a…
Concurrent formation of supermassive stars and globular clusters: implications for early self-enrichment
Mark Gieles, Corinne Charbonnel, Martin Krause +7
We present a model for the concurrent formation of globular clusters (GCs) and supermassive stars (SMSs, ) to address the origin of the HeCNONaMgAl abundance…
