VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey: B supergiants

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Model atmosphere analyses have been previously undertaken for both Galactic and extragalactic B-type supergiants.

Description

By contrast, little attention has been given to a comparison of the properties of single supergiants and those that are members of multiple systems. Atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances have been estimated for all the B-type supergiants identified in the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula survey.

These include both single targets and binary candidates. The results have been analysed to investigate the role of binarity in the evolutionary history of supergiants. TLUSTY non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine atmospheric parameters and nitrogen abundances for 34 single and 18 binary supergiants.

Effective temperatures were deduced using the silicon balance technique, complemented by the helium ionisation in the hotter spectra. Surface gravities were estimated using Balmer line profiles and microturbulent velocities deduced using the silicon spectrum. Nitrogen abundances or upper limits were estimated from the NII spectrum.

The effects of a flux contribution from an unseen secondary were considered for the binary sample. We present the first systematic study of the incidence of binarity for a sample of B-type supergiants across the theoretical terminal age main sequence (TAMS).
