HRD position of LH 114-7 compared to evolutionary tracks of the grid of Brott et al. (2011) with an initial rotation of 540 km s^–1. Initial masses are indicated next to the ZAMS (grey solid line); the ZAMS of the track with the lower luminosity tracks fall off the scale of this plot; the initial masses of these models are, in order of decreasing luminosity, 35, 30 and 25 M_⊙. Colour coding indicates v sin i, both for the tracks and the observation. The surface rotational velocities of the tracks have been multiplied by π/4, to obtain an (average) indication for v sin i. We find the best match of the observed T_eff, L and v sin i of LH 114-7 to be with the M_ini = 40 M_⊙ track (but see text).
