The WR population in the Galactic Center

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.
