PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XVI. The optical and NIR extinction laws in 30 Doradus and the photometric determination of the effective temperatures of OB stars
Context. The commonly used extinction laws of Cardelli et al. (1989, ApJ, 345, 245) have limitations that, among other issues, hamper the determination of the...

PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XVII. Physical and wind properties of massive stars at the top of the main sequence
The evolution and fate of very massive stars (VMS) is tightly connected to their mass-loss properties. Their initial and final masses differ significantly as a...

PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XVIII. Classifications and radial velocities of the B-type stars
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...

PublicaciónThe VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXII. Multiplicity properties of the B-type stars
We investigate the multiplicity properties of 408 B-type stars observed in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud with multi-epoch spectroscopy...

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...
