High-mass stars in Milky Way clusters
arXiv:1803.07986 · doi:10.1017/S174392131700299X
Abstract
Young open clusters are our laboratories for studying high-mass star formation and evolution. Unfortunately, the information that they provide is difficult to interpret, and sometimes contradictory. In this contribution, I present a few examples of the uncertainties that we face when confronting observations with theoretical models and our own assumptions.
