摘要
High-dynamic range radio Observations of Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) are presented that, detect a total of 21 stars in the young massive stellar cluster, the richest population of radio emitting stars known for any young massive galactic cluster in tire Galaxy. We will discuss sortie of the more remarkable objects, including the highly radio luminous supergiant B[e] star W9, with an estimated mass-loss rate (similar to 10(-3) M-circle dot yr(-1)) comparable to that of eta Carina, along with the somewhat unusal detection of thermal emission from almost all the cool red supergiants and yellow hypergiants. There is strong supporting evidence front X-ray observations that each of the, WR, stars with radio emission are likely to be colliding-wind binaries.
