The Promiscuous Nature of Stars in Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2002
The recent availability of special-purpose computers designed for calculating gravitational interactions of N bodies at extremely high speed has provided the means to model globular clusters on a star-by-star basis for the first time. By endeavoring to make the N-body codes that operate on these machines as realistic as possible, the addition of ...

The star cluster mass--galactocentric radius relation: Implications for cluster formation

open access: yes, 2015
Whether or not the initial star cluster mass function is established through a universal, galactocentric-distance-independent stochastic process, on the scales of individual galaxies, remains an unsolved problem.

Star Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984
The evolutionary history of the Magellanic Clouds has been very different from that of the Galaxy. As a result we presently observe major differences between both the stellar content and the cluster populations in the Galaxy and the Clouds.

Radio Triggered Star Formation in Cooling Flows

open access: yes, 1999
The giant galaxies located at the centers of cluster cooling flows are frequently sites of vigorous star formation. In some instances, star formation appears to have been triggered by the galaxy's radio source.

Evolution of Star Clusters within Galaxies Using Self-consistent Hybrid Hydro/N-body Simulations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We introduce a GPU-accelerated hybrid hydro/ N -body code ( Enzo-N ) designed to address the challenges of concurrently simulating star clusters and their parent galaxies.

The Steady State Wind Model for Young Stellar Clusters with an Exponential Stellar Density Distribution

open access: yes, 2011
A hydrodynamic model for steady state, spherically-symmetric winds driven by young stellar clusters with an exponential stellar density distribution is presented.

Is Earendel a Star Cluster?: Metal-poor Globular Cluster Progenitors at z ∼ 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The strongly lensed z  ∼ 6 Sunrise galaxy offers an incredible opportunity to investigate star formation in the early Universe on parsec or smaller scales.

Old star clusters: Bench tests of low mass stellar models

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Old star clusters in the Milky Way and external galaxies have been (and still are) traditionally used to constrain the age of the universe and the timescales of galaxy formation.

Asymmetric Star Formation Efficiency Due to Ram Pressure Stripping

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
Previous works have shown that a dense cluster environment affects satellite galaxy properties and accelerates or truncates their evolutionary processes.

The star cluster - field star connection in nearby spiral galaxies. II. Field star and cluster formation histories and their relation

open access: yes, 2011
Recent studies have started to cast doubt on the assumption that most stars are formed in clusters. Observational studies of field stars and star cluster systems in nearby galaxies can lead to better constraints on the fraction of stars forming in ...
