TY - JOUR A1 - Kourniotis, M. A1 - Bonanos, A. A1 - Najarro, F. T1 - Accurate parameters of massive binaries in the Danks clusters JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - We present results from our near-infrared spectroscopy with VLT/ISAAC of four, massive eclipsing binary systems in the young, heavily reddened, massive Danks clusters. We derive accurate fundamental parameters and the distance to these massive systems, which comprise of OIf+, WR and O-type stars. Our goal is to increase the sample of well-studied WR stars and constrain their physics by comparison with evolutionary models.

A1 - Hillier, D. J. T1 - The WR population in the Galactic Center JF - Wolf-Rayet Stars : Proceedings of an International Workshop held in Potsdam, Germany, 1.–5. June 2015 N2 - The Galactic Center (GC) hosts three of the most massive WR rich, resolved young clusters in the Local Group as well as a large number of apparently isolated massive stars. Therefore, it constitutes a test bed to study the star formation history of the region, to probe a possible top-heavy scenario and to address massive star formation (clusters vs isolation) in such a dense and harsh environment. We present results from our ongoing infrared spectroscopic studies of WRs and other massive stars at the Center of the Milky Way.
