... producing large amounts of UV radiation. We divided these stars into two groups, using their traditional names: “O-type” stars, with initial masses >20 Msun and lifespans < 5 Myr, and “B-type” stars of 8–20 Msun, which live 5–25 Myr. Then we went back to the ACS exposures to investigate the location ...
