摘要:

最大质量恒星的演化是一个有许多缺失部分的谜题。统计分析是为理论校准提供锚点的关键,然而进行这些研究是一项艰巨的工作。最先进的积分场摄谱仪MUSE激起了恒星天体物理学家的兴趣,他们对一次曝光就能拍摄多达1000颗恒星的光谱感到兴奋。随着MUSE窄场模式(NFM)的投入使用,人们的兴奋程度甚至更高,该模式已经证明了与哈勃太空望远镜相似的角分辨率。我们提出了第一个映射的致密恒星核心R136在狼蛛星云的基础上MUSE-NFM马赛克。我们的目标是提供对本地宇宙中最大质量恒星的第一次均匀分析,并探索这些特殊物体对星际介质的影响。

英文摘要:

The evolution of the most massive stars is a puzzle with many missing pieces. Statistical analyses are the key to provide anchors to calibrate theory, however performing these studies is an arduous job. The state-of-the-art integral field spectrograph MUSE has stirred up stellar astrophysicists who are excited about the capability to take spectra of up to a thousand stars in a single exposure. The excitement was even higher with the commissioning of the MUSE narrow-field-mode (NFM) that has demonstrated angular resolutions akin to the Hubble Space Telescope. We present the first mapping of the dense stellar core R136 in the Tarantula nebula based on a MUSE-NFM mosaic. We aim to deliver the first homogeneous analysis of the most massive stars in the local Universe and to explore the impact of these peculiar objects to the interstellar medium.
