An international team of astronomers that includes members of our team, has discovered a double system made of two very hot, very massive stars: VFTS352. This system is very similar to MY Camelopardalis, a compact binary also studied by members of our team. The difference between both systems is that the stars in VFTS352 are exchanging mass, while MY Cam stars are barely touching each other.
