The Ages of Young Star Clusters, Massive Blue Stragglers and the Upper Mass Limit of Stars: Analysing Age Dependent Stellar Mass Functions
Massive stars rapidly change their masses through strong stellar winds and mass transfer in binary systems. The latter aspect is important for populations of massive stars as more than 70% of all O-stars are expected to interact with a binary companion during their lifetime. We show that such mass changes leave characteristic signatures in stellar mass functions of young star clusters which can...

متن کاملThe Stellar Upper Mass Limit Preserved
This article is based on data gathered with three facilities: the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the 6.5 m Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory (LCO), and the 2.15-m J. Sahade telescope at Complejo Astronómico El Leoncito (CASLEO). The HST observations are associated with GO program 10602. HST is controlled from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the ...
متن کاملMassive main-sequence stars evolving at the Eddington limit⋆
Context. Massive stars play a vital role in the Universe, however, their evolution even on the main-sequence is not yet well understood. Aims. Because of the steep mass-luminosity relation, massive main-sequence stars become extremely luminous. This brings their envelopes very close to the Eddington limit. We analyse stellar evolutionary models in which the Eddington limit is reached and exceed...
متن کاملThe coupling between pulsation and mass loss in massive stars
To what extent can pulsational instabilities resolve the mass-loss problem of massive stars? How important is pulsation in structuring and modulating the winds of these stars? What role does pulsation play in redistributing angular momentum in massive stars? Although I cannot offer answers to these questions, I hope at the very least to explain how they come to be asked.
