Scientific paper

The observed masses and space velocities of main-sequence stars with M equal to or greater than 50 solar masses and of some of the brightest Wolf-Rayet stars (type WN 7/WN 8) are attributed to mass exchange and supernova explosions in close binary systems. Similar arguments suggest that blue supergiants intensively shedding mass may have an envelope in common with a compact, relativistic object.
