}Is there a stellar upper mass limit? Recent statistical work seems to indicate that there is and that it is in the vicinity of 150 M☉. In this paper we use HST and ground-based data to investigate the brightest members of the cluster Pismis 24, one of which (Pismis 24-1) was previously inferred to have a mass greater than 200 M☉, in apparent disagreement with that limit. We determine that Pismis 24-1 is composed of at least three objects, the resolved Pismis 24-1SW and the unresolved… CONTINUE READING
