    The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXVIII. Nitrogen abundances for apparently single dwarf and giant B-type stars with small projected rotational velocities
    Previous analyses of the spectra of OB-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds have identified targets with low projected rotational velocities and relatively high...

    The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXXI. Radial velocities and multiplicity constraints of red supergiant stars in 30 Doradus
    Aims: The incidence of multiplicity in cool, luminous massive stars is relatively unknown compared to their hotter counterparts. In this work we present radial...

    The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXXII. Low-luminosity late O-type stars: classification, main physical parameters, and silicon abundances
    Analysis of late O-type stars observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey revealed a discrepancy between the physical...

    The young massive SMC cluster NGC 330 seen by MUSE. I. Observations and stellar content
    Context. A majority of massive stars are part of binary systems, a large fraction of which will inevitably interact during their lives. Binary-interaction...

    Toward an Internally Consistent Astronomical Distance Scale
    Accurate astronomical distance determination is crucial for all fields in astrophysics, from Galactic to cosmological scales. Despite, or perhaps because of...

    Two newly identified, relatively old star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud
    We present the results on the age and metallicity estimates of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) clusters L110, L112 and L113 obtained from CCD Washington CT1...

    Unveiling the evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds through detection and analysis of stellar over-densities: clusters and streams.
    The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) are the closest example of a three-body interacting system composed of the Milky Way (MW), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and the...

    VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars (Hunter+, 2008)
    As part of a European Southern Observatory (ESO) Large Programme on the Very Large Telescope (VLT, Paranal, Chile) observations were obtained for over 700 stars...

    VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (Evans+, 2011)
    The Tarantula Survey employs three modes of the Fibre Large Array Multi-Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) instrument on the VLT: Medusa-Giraffe, ARGUS-Giraffe and...
