- Author contribution statement
- Crowther contributed to the interpretation of the results and commented on the manuscript. Specifically, Crowther contributed to the discussion of the role played by stars in the central R136 cluster on the global mass function and the upper mass limit. Indirect contributions involved supervision of Bestenlehner who led the analysis of very luminous emission line stars, which was integral to the mass function determination.
