PublicaciónNitrogen abundances of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
A sub-set of the 67 Be-type stars observed in 30 Doradus during the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) campaign have been analysed to estimate atmospheric...

PublicaciónO-star mass-loss and wind momentum rates in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds Observations and theoretical predictions.
A new, very fast approximate method is presented to determine mass-loss rates of O-stars from Halpha_ line profiles. The method uses H and HeII departure...

PublicaciónOn the nature of the most obscured C-rich AGB stars in the Magellanic Clouds
The stars in the Magellanic Clouds with the largest degree of obscuration are used to probe the highly uncertain physics of stars in the asymptotic giant branch...

PublicaciónOn the use of field RR Lyrae as galactic probes - VI. Mixed mode RR Lyrae variables in Fornax and in nearby dwarf galaxies
We investigate the properties of the mixed-mode (RRd) RR Lyrae (RRL) variables in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by using B- and V-band time series...

PublicaciónOutside-In Disk Evolution in the Large Magellanic Cloud
From the analysis of the color-magnitude diagrams and color functions of four wide LMC fields located from ~=2 to 6 kpc from the kinematic center of the LMC we...

PublicaciónPhotometric and Polarimetric Observations of the Wolf-Rayet Eclipsing Binary HD 5980 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We present results of photometry and photopolarimetry of the Wolf-Rayet eclipsing binary system HD 5980 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which underwent an...

PublicaciónProperties of the Be-type stars in 30 Doradus
The evolutionary status of Be-type stars remains unclear, with both single-star and binary pathways having been proposed. Here, VFTS spectroscopy of 73 Be-type...
