The Stellar Population of R136
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
The luminous, compact star cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is 300 times more spatially concentrated than a typical OB association and contains at least 39 O3 stars, the most massive of which is ~150 M⊙. Yet, the stellar IMF for 2.8–120 M⊙ is normal. The massive stars are 1–2 Myrs old, and Wolf-Rayet stars are not evolved.
