The four white dwarfs (WDs) discovered in the young open cluster NGC 2516 are crucial in defining the shape of the initial-final mass relation (IFMR) and upper mass limit for WD progenitors (Mwd). The cluster metallicity has been recently determined... Read More about On the initial-final mass relation and maximum mass of white dwarf progenitors.
