Dynamical Masses of W13 in Wd1 Cluster by Tuoma2 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the results of a study using spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary star W13 in the star cluster Westerlund 1. The study finds that W13 has an orbital period of 9.2709 days and a near-contact configuration. Dynamical mass measurements place lower limits on the masses of the two components at 21.4 solar masses and 32.8 solar masses. Comparison to theoretical models suggests the more massive component initially had a mass over 35 solar masses, providing con
