Scientific paper

As part of a larger project to measure directly the masses of the most massive stars, we have determined the percentage of eclipsing binaries in six young clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. Although the search process was identical for all the clusters, the frequency of eclipsing binaries for each cluster is markedly different. In this poster we present the properties of each cluster and possible correlations of the binary frequency with those properties.
