PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXIX. Massive star formation in the local 30 Doradus starburst
The 30 Doradus (30 Dor) nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the brightest HII region in the Local Group and a prototype starburst similar to those...

PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXV. Surface nitrogen abundances of O-type giants and supergiants
Context. Theoretically, rotation-induced chemical mixing in massive stars has far reaching evolutionary consequences, affecting the sequence of morphological...

PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXVI. Properties of the O-dwarf population in 30 Doradus
Context. The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey has observed hundreds of O-type stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Aims: We study the...

PublicaciónThe 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...

PublicaciónThe 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...

PublicaciónThe 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...

PublicaciónThe 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...
