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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the mass changes leave characteristic signatures in stellar mass functions of young star clusters which can be used to infer their ages and to identify products of binary evolution.

The Arches cluster out to its tidal radius: dynamical mass segregation and the effect of the extinction law on the stellar mass function
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the mass of the most massive star in the Arches cluster, which had been used in previous studies to establish an upper mass limit for the star formation process in the Milky Way, strongly depends on the assumed slope of the extinction law.
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.
Deep near-infrared imaging of W3 Main: constraints on stellar cluster formation
Arjan Bik,A. Stolte,Mario Gennaro,Mario Gennaro,Wolfgang Brandner,Dimitrios A. Gouliermis,Dimitrios A. Gouliermis,B. Hußmann,Emanuele Tognelli,Boyke Rochau,Th. Henning,Angela Adamo,Henrik Beuther,Anna Pasquali,Yu Wang +14 more
TL;DR: Embedded clusters like W3 Main are complex and dynamically evolving systems that represent an important phase in the star formation process.
