Description
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey is an ESO Large Programme that has provided multi-epoch spectroscopy of over 1000 stars in the 30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Armed with this unique dataset the assembled consortium is now addressing a broad range of fundamental questions in both stellar and cluster evolution. Here we give an overview of the survey and the observational strategy, which was designed to be very sensitive to massive binaries. We highlight the power of the multi-epoch approach with the discovery of a massive runaway O-type star which appears to be fleeing the core of the Tarantula region.

    The European Low Frequency Survey. Observing the radio sky to understand the beginning of the Universe
    In this paper we present the European Low Frequency Survey (ELFS), a project that will enable the detection of primordial B-mode polarization by measuring the Galactic and extra-Galactic foregrounds in the 5- 120 GHz frequency window. Indeed, the main difficulty in measuring the Bmode polarization comes not just from its sheer faintness, but from

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were

    IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys
    It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (L IR ≳ 10 9 L ⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between L IR and L' CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for 12CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0
