Near-infrared spectroscopy of the massive stellar population of W51: evidence for multi-seeded star formation
A. Bik, Th. Henning, S. -W. Wu +4
The interplay between the formation of stars, stellar feedback and cloud properties strongly influences the star formation history of giant molecular clouds. The formation of massi…
The very low-mass stellar content of the young supermassive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1
M. Andersen, M. Gennaro, W. Brandner +4
We present deep near-infrared HST/WFC3 observations of the young supermassive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1 and an adjacent control field. The depth of the data is sufficient…
The Massive Stellar Population of W49: A Spectroscopic Survey
Shi-Wei Wu, Arjan Bik, Joachim M. Bestenlehner +4
Massive stars form on different scales ranging from large, dispersed OB associations to compact, dense starburst clusters. The complex structure of regions of massive star formatio…
Circumstellar discs in Galactic centre clusters: Disc-bearing B-type stars in the Quintuplet and Arches clusters
Andrea Stolte, Benjamin Hussmann, Christoph Olczak +7
We investigate the circumstellar disc fraction as determined from L-band excess observations of the young, massive Arches and Quintuplet clusters residing in the central molecular…
The Discovery of a Very Massive Star in W49
Shi-Wei Wu, Arjan Bik, Thomas Henning +3
Very massive stars (M>100 M) are very rare objects, but have a strong influence on their environment. The formation of this kind of objects is of prime importance in star…
The orbital motion of the Quintuplet cluster - a common origin for the Arches and Quintuplet clusters?
Andrea Stolte, Benjamin Hussmann, Mark R. Morris +6
We investigate the orbital motion of the Quintuplet cluster near the Galactic center with the aim of constraining formation scenarios of young, massive star clusters in nuclear env…
