An upper limit to the masses of stars
Article Abstract:
An absence of stars with initial masses greater than 130M in the Arches cluster is reported, whereas the typical mass function is predicted to be 18. This indicates a firm limit of 150M for stars, the probability that the observations are consistent with there being no upper limit is 10(super -8).
