Using a combination of instruments on ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered the most massive stars to date, some weighing at birth more than 300 times the mass of the Sun, or twice as much as the currently accepted limit of 150 solar masses. The most extreme of these stars was found in the cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula. Named R136a1, it is found to have a current mass of 265 times that of the Sun. ...

. Figure 1. Dependence of the FD magnitude on the summarized unsigned magnetic flux in dimmings and arcades: (a) for FDs unambiguously identified with concrete solar eruptions (filled symbols); (b) for all considered events including events with a probable source identification (open symbols). Here and afterwards the diamonds denote eruptions in ARs, and triangles denote filament eruptions outside ARs. The dashed lines delimit the accepted deviation band.

To compile a working copy of Apache under UnixWare, there are several other steps you may need to take. ... Make sure that USE_FCNTL_SERIALIZE_ACCEPT is defined (if not defined by Apache autoconfiguration). If using the UnixWare cc compiler, and you still see accept() errors, don't use compiler optimization, or get gcc .
