The luminous, compact star cluster R136 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is 300 times more spatially concentrated than a typical OB association and contains at least 39 O3 stars, the most massive of which is ~150 M ⊙ . Yet, the stellar IMF for 2.8–120 M ⊙ is normal. The massive stars are 1–2 Myrs old, and Wolf-Rayet stars are not evolved.
