Abstract
AbstractWhile theoretical understanding remains to be clarified regarding the mechanisms that may or may not limit stellar masses, it is possible to empirically evaluate the existence of an upper-mass limit. ZAMS masses of the most massive stars have been estimated for a range of environments in our local Milky Way neighborhood and the Magellanic Clouds. Various statistical techniques demonstrate the existence of an upper-mass limit in this stellar sample.
