    The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey. XXVII. Physical parameters of B-type main-sequence binary systems in the Tarantula nebula
    A spectroscopic analysis has been undertaken for the B-type multiple systems (excluding those with supergiant primaries) in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey...

    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. XXX. Red stragglers in the clusters Hodge 301 and SL 639
    Aims: We estimate physical parameters for the late-type massive stars observed as part of the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey (VFTS) in the 30 Doradus region of the...

    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 VLT/NaCo large program to probe the occurrence of exoplanets and brown dwarfs in wide orbits. I. Sample definition and characterization
    Context. Young, close stars are ideal targets for searching planets using the direct imaging technique. The determination of stellar parameters is crucial for...

    The VLT/VISIR mid-IR view of 47 Tucanae. A further step in solving the puzzle of RGB mass loss
    There is an ongoing debate regarding the onset luminosity of dusty mass loss in population-II red giant stars. We present VLT/VISIR mid-infrared (MIR) 8.6 μm...

    The water ice rich surface of (145453) 2005 RR43: a case for a carbon-depleted population of TNOs?
    Context: Recent results suggest that there is a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) (2003 EL{61} being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost...
