Two O2 If*/WN6 stars possibly ejected from the massive young Galactic cluster Westerlund 2

A. Roman-Lopes, R. H. Barba, N. I. Morrell

In this paper we report the identification of two new Galactic O2 If*/WN6 stars (WR20aa and WR20c), in the outskirt of the massive young stellar cluster Westerlund 2. The morpholog…
