Catalog Service: VLT-FLAMES survey of massive stars
Description
We have previously analysed the spectra of 135 early B-type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and found several groups of stars that have chemical compositions that conflict with the theory of rotational mixing. Here we extend this study to Galactic and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) metallicities. We provide chemical compositions for ~50 Galactic and ~100 SMC early B-type stars and compare these to the LMC results. These samples cover a range of projected rotational velocities up to ~300km/s and hence are well suited to testing rotational mixing models. The surface nitrogen abundances are utilised as a probe of the mixing process since nitrogen is synthesized in the core of the stars and mixed to the surface.

This is service that does not comply with any IVOA standard but instead provides access to special capabilities specific to this resource.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input an ADQL or PQL query and returns tabular data.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input a position in the sky and a radius and returns catalog records with positions within that radius.
