THE NUCLEAR CLUSTER OF THE MILKY-WAY - STAR-FORMATION AND VELOCITY DISPERSION IN THE CENTRAL 0.5 PARSEC

We report the first results of an extensive new study of the Galactic center stellar cluster. The central parsec is powered by a cluster of about two dozen luminous and helium-rich blue supergiants/Wolf-Rayet stars (Teff ∼ 20,000-30,000 K) with ZAMS masses up to ∼100 M⊙. The most likely scenario for...
