Abstract
Context.How star formation proceeds in the Galactic Center is a debated question. Addressing this question will help us understand the origin of the cluster of massive stars near the supermassive black hole, and more generally, starburst phenomena in galactic nuclei. In that context, it is crucial to know the properties of young massive stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy.
