摘要: In this contribution we present the properties of most massive stars known by end 2013. We start with a summary historical claims for masses in excess several hundreds, even thousands solar masses. then describe how determine single stars. focus on estimates luminosities and related uncertainties. also highlight limitations evolutionary models used to convert into The luminous Galaxy Magellanic Clouds are subsequently presented. uncertainties their mass determinations described. Finally, binary After recalling some basics analysis, systems dynamical
