The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey
Jorick S. Vink, C. J. Evans, J. Bestenlehner +5
We present a number of notable results from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS), an ESO Large Program during which we obtained multi-epoch medium-resolution optical spectroscopy…
Discovery of the massive overcontact binary VFTS 352: Evidence for enhanced internal mixing
L. A. Almeida, H. Sana, S. E. de Mink +15
The contact phase expected to precede the coalescence of two massive stars is poorly characterized due to the paucity of observational constraints. Here we report on the discovery…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XVIII. Classifications and radial velocities of the B-type stars
C. J. Evans, M. B. Kennedy, P. L. Dufton +14
We present spectral classifications for 438 B-type stars observed as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Radial v…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey XIX. B-type Supergiants - Atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances to investigate the role of binarity and the width of the main sequence
C. M. McEvoy, P. L. Dufton, C. J. Evans +19
TLUSTY non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine atmospheric parameters and nitrogen (N) abundances for 34 single and 18 binary B-type supergiants (BSGs). T…
Rotational velocities of single and binary O-type stars in the Tarantula Nebula
O. H. Ramírez-Agudelo, H. Sana, A. de Koter +15
Rotation is a key parameter in the evolution of massive stars, affecting their evolution, chemical yields, ionizing photon budget, and final fate. We determined the projected rotat…
X-ray emission from massive stars in Cyg OB2
G. Rauw, Y. Naze, N. J. Wright +9
We report on the analysis of the Chandra-ACIS data of O, B and WR stars in the young association Cyg OB2. X-ray spectra of 49 O-stars, 54 B-stars and 3 WR-stars are analyzed and fo…
