HD 150136: towards one of the most massive systems?
Abstract
We present the preliminary results of an intensive monitoring devoted to HD 150136. Already quoted as an O3+O6 binary, we detected a third O-type component physically linked to the system, making it one of the nearest (1.3 kpc) most massive systems known until now (~134Msolar). To determine the physical parameters of this system, we applied a disentangling program to study individually the three components. It allows us to constrain their spectral types and to derive a new orbital solution for the short-period system.
