With masses at least 15 times that of the Sun, type-O stars are the heaviest and brightest of all. And because they live only a few million years, they're quite rare. Having analyzed the O-star populations of six nearby star clusters, a team led by Hugues Sana (Amsterdam University) has concluded that over 70% of O stars far more than had been thought have binary companions close enough to exchange matter with them.
