Journal ArticleDOI
The R136 star cluster hosts several stars whose individual masses greatly exceed the accepted 150 M⊙ stellar mass limit
Paul A. Crowther,O. Schnurr,Raphael Hirschi,Raphael Hirschi,Norhasliza Yusof,Richard J. Parker,Simon P. Goodwin,Hasan Abu Kassim +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mass of hydrogen-rich WN5−6 stars within the young star clusters NGC 3603 and R136 were analyzed using archival Hubble Space Telescope and Very Large Telescope spectroscopy, and high spatial resolution near-IR photometry, including MAD imaging of R136.
Journal ArticleDOI
The R136 star cluster hosts several stars whose individual masses greatly exceed the accepted 150 Msun stellar mass limit
Paul A. Crowther,Olivier Schnurr,Raphael Hirschi,Norhasliza Yusof,Richard J. Parker,Simon P. Goodwin,Hasan Abu Kassim +6 more
TL;DR: Spectroscopic analyses of H-rich WN5-6 stars within the young star clusters NGC 3603 and R136 are presented, using archival HST & VLT spectroscopy, and high spatial resolution near-IR photometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas expulsion and the destruction of massive young clusters
Simon P. Goodwin,Nate Bastian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the luminosity and dynamical mass estimates for young massive stellar clusters and showed that 50 per cent of these clusters are likely to be destroyed within a few tens of Myr of their formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early disc accretion as the origin of abundance anomalies in globular clusters
Nate Bastian,Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers,S. E. de Mink,S. E. de Mink,Steven N. Longmore,Simon P. Goodwin,Mark Gieles +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for the formation of GCs, where low-mass pre-main-sequence stars accrete enriched material released from interacting massive binary and rapidly rotating stars on to their circumstellar discs, and ultimately on to the young stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the massive stellar population of the super star cluster Westerlund 1
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new spectroscopic and photometric observations of the young Galactic open cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) that reveal a unique population of massive evolved stars.
