We suggest that planets, brown dwarfs, and even low mass stars can be formed by fragmentation of protoplanetary disks around very massive stars (M J 100 M ). We discuss how fragmentation conditions make the formation of very massive planetary systems around very massive stars favorable. Such planeta
## Abstract The birth process and (early) evolution of massive stars is still poorly understood. Massive stars are rare, their birthplaces are hidden from view and their formation timescale is short. So far, our physical knowledge of these young massive stars has been derived from nearβIR imaging a
