Massive stars in young VVV clusters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 July 2017
Extract
The role of massive stars in the Galactic evolution is crucial. During their lifetime these stars change the kinematics around them through stellar winds, affect the formation of new stars, ionise and chemically enrich the media with the final supernova explosion. But the census of both massive stars and their host clusters is still poor. We expect that still ~100 of galactic massive stellar clusters remains unknown (Hanson & Popescu, 2008).
