A not so massive cluster hosting a very massive star


Abstract in English

We present the first physical characterization of the young open cluster VVV CL041. We spectroscopically observed the cluster main-sequence stellar population and a very-massive star candidate: WR62-2. CMFGEN modeling to our near-infrared spectra indicates that WR62-2 is a very luminous (10$^{6.4pm0.2} L_{odot}$) and massive ($sim80 M_{odot}$) star.
