Lithopanspermia in Star-Forming Clusters [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2005 This paper considers the lithopanspermia hypothesis in star forming groups and clusters, where the chances of biological material spreading from one solar system to another is greatly enhanced (relative to the field) due to the close proximity of the systems and lower relative velocities. These effects more than compensate for the reduced time spent in

Star Formation in the Field and Clusters of NGC 5253 [PDF]
, 2001 We investigate the star formation history of both the bright star clusters and the diffuse `field star' population in the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253 using STIS longslit ultraviolet spectroscopy.

Massive star and star cluster formation [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractI review the status of massive star formation theories: accretion from collapsing, massive, turbulent cores; competitive accretion; and stellar collisions. I conclude the observational and theoretical evidence favors the first of these models.

First Evidence of Multi-iron Subpopulations in the Bulge Fossil Fragment Candidate Liller 1
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of the so-called Bulge Fossil Fragments (the fossil remnants of the bulge formation epoch), here we present the first determination of the metallicity distribution of Liller 1.

The Star Cluster System in the Local Group Starburst Galaxy IC 10
, 2015 We present a survey of star clusters in the halo of IC 10, a starburst galaxy in the Local Group based on Subaru R band images and NOAO Local Group Survey UBVRI images. We find five new star clusters.

The evolution of star clusters: the resolved-star approach
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2009 We present the first results of a new technique to detect, locate, and characterize young dissolving star clusters. Using HST/ACS archival images of the nearby galaxy IC2574, we performed stellar PSF photometry and selected the most massive stars as our first test sample.

Filamentary Star Formation in NGC 1275 [PDF]
, 2014 We examine the star formation in the outer halo of NGC~1275, the central galaxy in the Perseus cluster (Abell 426), using far ultraviolet and optical images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope.

The formation of star clusters [PDF]
, 2003 The ability of HST to resolve objects ten times smaller than possible from the ground has rejuvenated the study of young star clusters. A recurrent morphological theme found in nearby resolved sytems is the observation of young (typically 1 - 10 Myr), massive (10**3 - 10**4 M_sun), compact (rho ~ 10**5 M_sun/pc**3) clusters which have evacuated the gas
