Discovery of a Luminous White Dwarf in a Young Star Cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Abstract
We have identified a candidate ~1-2×105 yr old luminous white dwarf in NGC 1818, a young star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This discovery strongly constrains the boundary mass Mc at which stars stop forming neutron stars and start forming white dwarfs, to Mc7.6 M.
