Orbits of four very massive binaries in the R136 cluster.

MASSEY P., PENNY L.R. and VUKOVICH J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present radial velocity and photometry for four early-type, massive, double-lined spectroscopic binaries in the R136 cluster. Three of these systems are eclipsing, allowing orbital inclinations to be determined. One of these systems, R136-38 (O3 V+O6 V), has one of the highest masses ever measured for the primary, 57 M☉. Comparison of our masses with those derived from standard evolutionary tracks shows excellent agreement. We also identify five other light variables in the R136 cluster that are worthy of follow-up study.
