• AN EXTREMELY TOP-HEAVY INITIAL MASS FUNCTION IN THE GALACTIC CENTER STELLAR DISKS (2009, background): “The most massive stars with an individual mass estimates have ZAMS masses of at least 60M⊙ (Martins et al. 2006, 2007).”
• Peering through the veil: near-infrared photometry and extinction for the Galactic nuclear star cluster (2009, methodology): “Such incompatibility was recently claimed to be solved by Martins et al. (2007) with the inclusion of line-blanketing in the models, leading to lower bolometric luminosities and lower UV fluxes for the HeI stars.”
• A Massive Cluster of Red Supergiants at the Base of the Scutum-Crux Arm (2007, methodology): “Meanwhile,Martins et al. (2007) recently applied abundance analysis to the unusually large number of Opfe/WN 9 stars in the Galactic center cluster to tie down their evolutionary status.”
• LINE DERIVED INFRARED EXTINCTION TOWARD THE GALACTIC CENTER (2011, background): “The uncertainty in extinction creates, in turn, uncertainty in determining the intrinsic luminosities of young massive stars in the GC (Martins et al. 2007; Fritz et al. 2010), as well as the intrinsic luminos- ity of Sgr A* (Genzel et al. 2003).”
