Scientific paper

We propose that the most massive stars in the local Universe start out
on the main sequence being extremely luminous and already exhibiting
wind-like emission lines. Such stars can probably be identified as
hydrogen-rich WN5-7 stars. Masses are now being determined for these
stars using the least model-dependent technique of binary orbits.
