  • Interpretative analyses of the X-ray emission from the giant starformation region R 136 have concluded that several colliding-wind binaries are likely to contribute to its X-ray output. Using our dedicated high-energy stellar population synthesis programme, we try to reproduce the suggested number of colliding-wind binaries. It appears that only assuming a very high binary fraction for the cluster's stellar population we can reproduce the observed X-ray luminosity distribution, if also the two most luminous sources are in fact multiple sources.
