    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/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 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...

    The young open cluster NGC 7067 using Strömgren photometry
    NGC 7067 is a young open cluster located in the direction between the first and the second Galactic quadrants and close to the Perseus spiral arm. This makes it...
