A New Determination of the Mass of NGC 3603-A1: The Most Massive Binary Known?
The star NGC 3603-A1 has long been known to be a very massive binary, consisting of a pair of O2-3If*/WN5-6 stars which show Wolf–Rayet–like emission due to their luminosities being near the Eddington limit. The system has been poorly characterized until now, due to the difficulties of obtaining rel...
