The peculiar population of helium emission stars at the Galactic Center.

We show that extremely luminous, blue stars are present at the Galactic Center (GC) in numbers that are incompatible with normal stellar evolution. Helium 2.058 micrometer images with a spatial resolution of 1 arcsecond show that the helium emission is concentrated on point sources, most of which ar...
