Pismis 24 - 1 : The 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 کاملStatistical Confirmation of a Stellar Upper Mass Limit
We derive the expectation value for the maximum stellar mass (mmax) in an ensemble of N stars, as a function of the IMF upper-mass cutoff (mup) and N . We statistically demonstrate that the upper IMF of the local massive star census observed thus far in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds clearly exhibits a universal upper mass cutoff around 120− 200 M⊙ for a Salpeter IMF, although the result i...
متن کاملCan Stellar Yields Accurately Constrain the Upper Limit to the Initial Mass Function?
Recent determinations of the upper mass limit to the local initial mass function (IMF) claim a value of mU = 50±10 M⊙, based upon direct comparisons of the observed oxygen and iron abundances in metal-poor stars with the predicted stellar yields from Type II supernovae (SNe). An unappreciated uncertainty in these analyses is the input physics intrinsic to each SNe grid, and its effect upon stel...
