Ages of Young Star Clusters, Massive Blue Stragglers, and the Upper Mass Limit of Stars: Analyzing Age-dependent Stellar Mass Functions
Fabian Schneider,Robert G. Izzard,S. E. de Mink,S. E. de Mink,Norbert Langer,A. Stolte,A. de Koter,A. de Koter,Vasilii V. Gvaramadze,Vasilii V. Gvaramadze,B. Hußmann,A. Liermann,A. Liermann,Hugues Sana,Hugues Sana +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that massive stars rapidly change their masses through strong stellar winds and mass transfer in binary systems, leaving characteristic signatures in stellar mass functions of young star clusters that can be used to infer their ages and to identify products of binary evolution.
Intermediate to low-mass stellar content of Westerlund 1
Wolfgang Brandner,Wolfgang Brandner,J. S. Clark,A. Stolte,Rens Waters,Ignacio Negueruela,Simon P. Goodwin +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed near-infrared NTT/SofI observations of the starburst cluster Westerlund 1, which is among the most massive young clusters in the Milky Way.
Age spread in w3 main: large binocular telescope/luci near-infrared spectroscopy of the massive stellar content*
Arjan Bik,Th. Henning,A. Stolte,Wolfgang Brandner,Dimitrios A. Gouliermis,Mario Gennaro,Anna Pasquali,Boyke Rochau,Henrik Beuther,Nancy Ageorges,Walter Seifert,Yu-Sa Wang,Nadia Kudryavtseva +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present near-infrared multi-object spectroscopy and JHK(s) imaging of the massive stellar content of the Galactic star-forming region W3 Main, obtained with LUCI at the Large Binocular Telescope.

The present-day mass function of the Quintuplet cluster based on proper motion membership
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two epochs of near infrared imaging data obtained with NAOS/CONICA at the ESO VLT to measure the individual proper motions of stars in the Quintuplet cluster in the cluster reference frame.
Very low-mass stellar content of the young supermassive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1
M. Andersen,Mario Gennaro,Mario Gennaro,Wolfgang Brandner,A. Stolte,G. De Marchi,Michael Meyer,Hans Zinnecker +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented deep near-infrared HST/WFC3 observations of the young supermassive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1 and an adjacent control field and found the nominal peak mass to be comparable to that of the field and nearby embedded star clusters.
