New Candidate Massive Clusters from 2MASS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Massive stars are important for the evolution of the interstellar medium. The detailed study of their properties (such as mass loss, rotation, magnetic fields) is enormously facilitated by samples of these objects in young massive galactic star clusters.

Young, Massive Star Clusters in the Antennae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
While massive star clusters have been detected in almost every galaxy with appreciable star formation, they are most prevalent in interacting and merging galaxies. As many as 95% of these clusters will ultimately be disrupted, often in the first 10 Myr,

Dynamical Mass Estimates for Two Luminous Star Clusters in Galactic Merger Remnants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present high-dispersion spectra of two extremely massive star clusters in galactic merger remnants, obtained using the UVES spectrograph mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope.

The occurrence of abnormal stars in open clusters [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1979
AbstractMorgan, Keenan, and others have found that low dispersions (80-130 Å mm-1) are ideal for obtaining spectral types and luminosity classes, especially for early-type stars. This is because at those dispersions certain blends are unresolved and remain useful, the hydrogen line wings are seen most clearly, and differences in rotational velocities ...

Star clusters as age tracers of the age-metallicity relation of the small magellanic cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In my Thesis, I determined ages of Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) star clusters that have formed during the galaxys entire lifetime.

PHANGS: constraining star formation time-scales using the spatial correlations of star clusters and giant molecular clouds

open access: yes, 2023
In the hierarchical view of star formation, giant molecular clouds (GMCs) undergo fragmentation to form small-scale structures made up of stars and star clusters.

On the Presence of Variable Stars in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1975
The significance of variable stars as members of open clusters is outlined. The results of a search for such stars are briefly mentioned.

Star clusters in unperturbed spiral galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Stars do not form in isolation, they form in groups known as star clusters. Star clusters are seen in a wide range of galaxies and environments. Their presence reveals the history of the host galaxy and the processes of its star formation.

Stars with Abnormal Spectra in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980
From the literature a list of stars with abnormal spectra belonging to open clusters was compiled. This list is included in Lyngå's catalogue of open clusters. With this data it becomes possible to derive a correlation with the age, compiled by W. Buscombe and which appears also in Lyngå's catalogue.

Binary Star Evolution in Different Environments: Filamentary, Fractal, Halo, and Tidal Tail Clusters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Using membership of 85 open clusters from previous studies based on Gaia Data Release 3 data, we identify binary candidates in the color–magnitude diagram for systems with mass ratio q > 0.4.
