Census of the Galactic Centre early-type stars using spectro-imagery
  The few central parsecs of the Galaxy are known to contain a surprising population of early-type stars, including at least 30 Wolf-Rayet stars and luminous blue variables (LBV), identified thanks to their strong emission lines. Despite the presence of emission from ionised interstellar material in the same lines, the latest advances in spectro-imaging have made it possible to use the absorption lines of the OB stars to characterise them as well. This stellar population is particularly intriguing in the deep potential well of the 4 million solar mass black hole Sgr A*. We will review the properties of these early-type stars known from spectro-imagery, and discuss possible formation scenarios.
