R144 : a very massive binary likely ejected from R136 through a binary-binary encounter
Seungkyung Oh, Pavel Kroupa, Sambaran Banerjee
R144 is a recently confirmed very massive, spectroscopic binary which appears isolated from the core of the massive young star cluster R136. The dynamical ejection hypothesis as an…
Very Massive Stars (VMS) in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink, Alexander Heger, Mark R. Krumholz +25
Recent studies have claimed the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical…
Did the infant R136 and NGC 3603 clusters undergo residual gas expulsion?
Sambaran Banerjee, Pavel Kroupa
Based on kinematic data observed for very young, massive clusters that appear to be in dynamical equilibrium, it has recently been argued that such young systems set examples where…
