A not so massive cluster hosting a very massive star

preprint2015arXivOpen access

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 $^{6.4\pm0.2} L_{\odot}$ ) and massive ( $\sim80 M_{\odot}$ ) star.
