Measuring the Masses of the Most Massive Stars (original) (raw)

2011

Abstract

The relationship between mass and luminosity is poorly determined for high mass stars, with stellar atmosphere analysis often yielding lower estimates of the masses than stellar evolutionary models predict. For the hottest massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds such differences can be as much as a factor of two. This "mass discrepancy" problem has been known for 15 years. During
